sorry dipping in and out between other things... that one is working fine on every page in both IE and my marginal case browser ;-)

What changed?

Dunno. Banging on it, I can make it fail maybe 1 in 200 times, here on a fairly snappy network.

If the path was evaluating to undefined, it would be doing that every time. Do you get undefined, even when the page loads correctly?

Let's get our new test case up and running and see what happens then.

Undefined a steady 27Kb.

sequence:

whitepanel.swf
undefined
the_actual_page swf.

Is something occupying the cpu so it is "missing" the onLoad?
Win 2K, IE6
No animations no matter how long I wait.

Hmm. I think that's something else.

We're building a new test case, be interesting to see if that still trips the undefined...

Let's get it working reliably in IE on windows before we start worrying about the more marginal cases...

;-)

What seems to the case is that the onLoad event fires (the swf has loaded) and the white panel is positioned and resized - to a movie size of 0,0 at that point in time. The movies currently have a graphic symbol in frame 1 that defines their size: that should be the size when you interrogate it in onLoad, however, sometimes it is reporting 0,0.

The movies did have a graphic symbol in frame 1. We are changing those to be movieclips, and making sure they are present right across the timeline.

Is it possible for a movie to load, with a movieclip in frame 1 at 0,0 of 200,300 width / height to report a size of 0,0 in the onLoad handler? It shouldn't be... in my experience if a movie fails to load, onLoad doesn't fire at all, it's not got a success parameter in the function like the xml loaders.

So I am assuming that:

If onLoad fires, the movieclip has in fact loaded successfully;
If onLoad fires, the movieclip has been instantiated in the loading movie;
If onLoad fires, then the width and height of the loaded clip should reflect its width and height in frame 1.

Yes?

Not many pages working in Safari on Windows 7 :-(
(Flash player version shown at end) http://www.screenr.com/NBKs

Slightly better in IE but still a lot of pages not showing anything but text content.

HTH

Do you see animations on all the pages?

If not, if you clear your cache, do you see animations on all the pages?

Can you let me know browser and version, flash player and version in any report?

Thanks,
