Flash Movie Not Loading

centruim

Hi

Sorry if this has been answered else where but I have searched the forum and cant find the answer, I am lookin to make use of this brilliant wee tool to upload multiple files to my website but I cannot get the flash movie to load.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get it to display, I managed to get it loading in a test.html file on a local file, however when I try and run my projet in a web environment the flash file says "Movie Not Loaded". the input box is hidden and I have flash 10 installed but cant work out what is going on please. I don't know anything about flash really but could it be a permission problem. Below is my javascript code, i'm using asp.net mvc hence the script value.

As I say any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Cent

$('#fileInput').fileUpload({
    'uploader' : '../Uploadify/uploader.swf',
    'script': '/workspace/upload',
    'folder': 'uploads',
    'multi': 'true',
    'buttonText': 'Upload Images',
    'displayData': 'speed',
    'simUploadLimit': 2,
    'auto': true,
    'cancelImg': '../Uploadify/cancel.png'});

The code you posted does not offer any information about why the flash does not display.
First you should check that all paths in your scripts are correct (not just path to the flash button), this is main reason why it does not show up.
If all paths are correct:
You should use firebug in FF to debug it and see errors, most usefull tool ever, will save you a lot of time.

If everything is ok, more info is needed, not just the code you posted.

Hey thanks for replying.

Sorry I wasn't sure what else was needed, the paths as far as I know are fine, they are relative to the js file is this correct or should they be relative to the page that is running the script.

I have managed using the same directory structure a static file that works.

Also used firebug but there didn't appear any errors and all seemed well.

What other information might be useful, I am using asp.net mvc and have abstracted out my js, css and aspx partial view into seperate files so posting a complete html file isn't the easiest, you've just given me food for thought though.

I was just wondering if other people have experienced this too.

it needs to be relative to the page that is running the script.

If you are getting a blank flash area it is purely the path that is the issue

I got this error too.

On localhost or 127.0.0.1 DOES not work, while on remote server it works..

When you right click on the button it says "Movie not loaded..." while on remote server it gives the normal flash menu. So what's the detail? there must be an error in the swf file or something, also if i access the file directly:

..remosthost/swf/uploadify.swf?preventswfcaching=1315664630220 it works fine,

but when is local it does not it still says movie not loaded even if I access the swf directly..

For these still facing this issue, you are gonna love me for this,

make sure to upload the files in binary mode!!. This fixed the issue for me.

If you are copying with apache ant, could also produce this issue, so you might want to copy the file directly, or upload in binary. This should get you going :), Took me too long to figure this out!.

Howdy, Stranger!
