Workin' on a few banners with images, etc. and when I export and view the .swf's, a majority of them are missing assets, sometimes images and sometimes movie clips with embedded text.
However, when I open the flash file and preview from Flash, everything is good. I was curious if it had to do with what Flash Player version I choose to export at or if anyone has gone through this?

might have dynamic text in them, with having the fonts embedded?

Try updating your Flash Player (not the standalone app player / IDE)...the Flash Player Plugin that your browser uses. You might be using an old version of the plugin in whatever browser you're using but exporting the SWF to a higher version.
Never heard of that one before (unless you're working with someone elses files)

fyoucher,
I did that earlier this morning just to see if it made any difference but wouldn't that have no effect because I am viewing the .swf's on the standalone Flash Player, not via browser.
And yes, the files are all local and built locally with all images still around (even though that shouldn't make any difference either).

Click Edit Locations > Add New Location > Browse for Folder > select your main hard drive > reopen your swf > watch wowness and amazing firework show... !!!!!!! 1!!!!!!!

Just found the problem.. so small and overlooked numerously! My .swf's were opening in Fl Player 8 default, even though I have FP10. I finally caught it when I saw the difference between the icons on my dock!

P.S. What's everyone exporting their Flash files at? Still versions below 10?

- yee then you have to export the swf using fp10noiseisthis
- there are some inconsistencies with older versions of FP 10 with the 3D APIPupsipu

isnt making the banner for a fp10 a bit risky ?
usually clients still prefer it go go back to 7/8 atleast to increase the opportunity of everyone watching it

most ad servers will not accept anything over 9. a lot still use 8.
