 Posted: Fri 12 May '06 20:17 Post subject: Apache2 and swf playback |
 |
|
Hi,
I have another newbie question. I am having problems with swf play back on apache2 on localhost:8080. The swf just hangs when loaded. I have tried on IIS with no problems as well as on my domain's server. It seems as though apache is not properly configured, but 'application/x-shockwave-flash' is in the mime.type file. Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks,
Mark |

Hi,
The html is fine since it works on IIS, and on my domain. Browser is IE 6.0.29 and OS is XP Pro (SP2). At this point I have abandoned developing using Apache since I have been experiencing too many unexpected problems. However, I would like to get to the bottom of this eventually so any recommendations would be welcome.

I asked for the HTML code. do you use ActiveX? Try only the embed
I never have heard off that phenomen. Well maybe it is caused by the Port 8080? I'm not sure. The main question for me is,how can I reproduce the error.
e.g.
| Code: |
<embed src="nibbles.swf" quality="high" scale="exactfit" menu="false"
bgcolor="#000000" width="600" height="400" swLiveConnect="false"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</embed>

I'm having the same problem it's really weird because it was running fine until today, I recently formatted my HD and installed a fresh copy of XP and had the same problem on my previous installation.
I think I haven't installed any software just before it broke but not 100% sure, at first I thought it was my anti-virus software but its not, of course I'm completly sure it has nothing to do with how I'm embedding the SWF files into the html since it works just fine online, and its the way I've been doing it for years.
I'll try to trace down the problem and let you know. |

The cool thing is that apache dont have to do anything with flash...
It servers flashs like any other file.
Perhaps you need to enter
AddType application/shockwave-flash .swf
but i guess i standard httpd.conf its already done.
The problem is windows for sure.
BTW have you tried opening the site with the swf from other pc??? |
