Hi - just noticed that if I access my flash movie on my site - without using WWW in the url - the links don't work!!!
Furthermore - I checked on other sites and the same happens!
Please does anybody know a way around this?

never heard of it..
... download the flash unistalla and reinstall that sucka.

please go to t h e f w a and take the www out!

cross domain policy file

you will see that the links on the profile don't work
- this works fine... UNINSTALL... and reinstall.

it reaaaally sucks
- clearThoughts0
I mean - it's not working on my clients computer so I can't really tell him to re-install
- why not?... it's a perfectly feasible... and probably accurate solution...PonyBoy

what do you mean with 'cross domain policy file'?
Does it mean - it cannot link to the site without the www?
Or do you have to ad anything extra in your code?
- clearThoughts0
that sounds really good 'acescence' thanks for that - I need to find out how to do it in .NET though.

can't you just add the www?
- clearThoughts0
well - google points to my site without the www... so I can't really ask users to add the www...
by the way I had no luck with the 'crossdomain policy file'... and I'm still shocked that if you access the F.W.A. site without the www, the links don't work.
- this is happening locally on your machine... AND your clients?PonyBoy
- there was a flash update that automatically went out... and i know they don't 'take' sometimes...PonyBoy
- ... and goofy stuff has happened like this in the past to me.PonyBoy
- thing is... I can't replicate it on my machine (any of them)... and I've IM'ed a few folks... fine for them too.PonyBoy
- It just sounds like a goofy local odd coincedince...but an installer issue never-the-less.PonyBoy

just make an xml file and add it to the root of your site:
<!-- http://yourdomain.com/crossdomai… --><cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.yourdomain.com"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
- cuke4260
oh. i get it.
www.yoursite.com works
yoursite.com does not.
is that the problem?
if so, that's not flash, that's how your domain resolves. you can fix it on your control panel from wherever you bought the domain or else do the crossdomain file.
- cuke4260
..and the f.w .a. links work for me, with or without the www...
- clearThoughts0
yeah - that's exactly the problem.
I tried the crossdomain file - but it doesn't seem to work.
I'll try fixing it from the control panel where I brought the domain - I'll also changed the settings on Google - to index the site with www instead.But it will take a week.
- clearThoughts0
do the external links on the right column work for you?
It's really annoying the fact that you can't post the word 'F.W.A' here... haha
- yes they work. the ones that go to the eff dub atheater ones do not...cuke426
- PonyBoy0
hmmm...
... this happens to you on any site... yes?... not just yours... you did mention 'thef.w.a.com' too...
... so this is NOT a cross-domain issue... can't be... right? It's not just one server you're dealing with...
... sounds local to me, dude.
It's a weird coincidence that it's happening with your client's machine too...
.... I've tested multiple sites (yours... 'thef.w.a.' etc)... it all works fine for me... AND EVERYONE I've asked to try too...
... sounds local (in your machines).
- clearThoughts0
OK - thanks everybody - just fixed it by redirecting the page if the www is not there using some C# code - as IIS is not as flexible as apache...
So I just wrote some code to add the www if not there.
Thanks for your help.
