a probably rather elementary question. thanks in advance for the patience ...:
i'm loading external .swf's into a level of a base .swf file by attaching loadMovieNum to buttons. in turn those external .swf files load dynamic text.
when i run the site from my hard drive (using ie5.1 mac) it works perfectly. and when i run it from the server on a pc, it works perfectly. however, when i run it on a mac using ie 5.1 it's a mess. the first time i click a button to load one of the external .swf's the file appears to load properly, but won't display the dynamic text. then if i attempt to continue navigating the other sections of the site (and their corresponding external .swf's), everything slows down considerably and flash seems to stop loading the external .swf's altogether.
am i missing something in terms of unloading my external movies from the level that they'reloaded into? or is it something else?
thanks in advance.

sounds like you may have your export setting in flash to version 6 and the mac browser is using version 5
thats all i can think of

yeah ... i have the flash 6 plugin installed on the mac so that's probably not it unfortunately?
thanks though!

i agree, it sounds like a player issue. are your swf's all the same version? also, do you have the right plugins for each browser?
not sure what else it could be...

Shot in the dark... but it could be that you're uploading the text files incorrectly... sometimes you need to be careful to uplaod as ascii instead of binary... probably not that, but worth checking... also line breaks in imported text file can throw things... especially filenames... it's alright if the filename is an external link, but if it's something it's trying to load into flash then it falls over!
