Quick, just need a def. answer, because I have to talk to people this afternoon and tell them why their flash files didn't work that they sent us:
They had spaces in the file name for the swf.
They also had spaces in the html code section that includes the swf file name.
That is a problem, right? It didn't work, and I'm positive you can't have spaces in the urls.
Am I correct?

%20 = space in URL
- ********0
correct. you can use %20 for spaces sometimes, but not all platforms will even support that
- joyride0
spaces would normally add %20 in the url.
But yeah, I would lose the spaces, bad practice anyways

So, if filename=
"name date person.swf"
and the html code that points to it reads:
"name date person.swf"
that will not work, right?
- tasty0
why not use an underscore?
web hates spaces

I didn't do it, someone else did, and i have to tell them what was wrong.

but never use spaces, use underscrores orCamelSyntax

It's a really bad practice but it works. If you reference it using page headers or directly without an html embed it won't work though.

that could definitely be the problem mg33.
also they may have fuked up the permissions.
meaning. the web server will not play the swf becuse it's permissions were set wrong either when a) it was saved or b) when it was ftp'd.
we just had that issue the other day. permissions were set wrong.

Well, that was a quick meeting and I learned this stuff wasn't created with Flash at all, but with Adobe Captivate.
What the hell is that?

"permissions were set wrong either when a) it was saved"
where do you find the permissions settings in flash? is it under the export options?
this might help solve a problem i've been encountering as well....

sickman. you got me. i'm no flash expert.
one of the other guys here had the issue with his flash file.
i viewed the swf properties and set it to read and write.
i don't know how he saved it, and he uploaded it via an ftp program. somewhere along the way it got jacked.
oh. and the code somehow spit out that the flash was 6 and not the 8 needed.
i really don't know which variable fixed the problem, the permissions or that the code was two flash players behind.

"i viewed the swf properties and set it to read and write. "
i was wondering if thats what you meant. i've tried that but it didn't help my problem. whatever - back to the drawing board.

K0na/sickman--
File permissions are set on the server, typically using the command line or an FTP program
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil…The flash player uses security sandboxes to control the access to class properties/functions, which you can adjust using the System.security package
