Something CRAZY'S going on here...

Can anyone view the images on my website?

http://dragonballtm.keenspace.com

I keep seeing a Broken JPG box where the comic should be and my flash navigation bars will not load. Does anyone have any ideas why they won't work. In the past I've always loaded things via the workspace directory because that's where I thought you uploaded everything. Also the flash navigation is in the website directory and not the images, so I'm not sure if that's the problem or not. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Where is the source for your flash bars?

My page's title is in the /images folder, so it's:

Code: Select all

<embed src="images/menu.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="892" height="101"></embed></object>

If you put SWF files in public_html they'll be moved to the /images folder.

I'm not seeing your comic either.

I don't know anything about flash, but could your comic have corrupted? Did you try reuploading?

I don't know why there should be a red X where the comic is though... Its wierd.

I've solved your flash problem! I checked, and your SWFs are in the /images folder.

Your code reads like this for Bar.swf:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT 
            codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0 
            height=270 width=110 
            classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000><PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="Bar.swf"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
               <EMBED SRC="Bar.swf" QUALITY=high 
            PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" 
            TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" WIDTH="110" 
            HEIGHT="270"></EMBED> </OBJECT>

While it should be:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT 
            codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0 
            height=270 width=110 
            classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000><PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="Bar.swf"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
               <EMBED SRC="/images/Bar.swf" QUALITY=high 
            PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" 
            TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" WIDTH="110" 
            HEIGHT="270"></EMBED> </OBJECT>

As for your comic, I'm not sure. I had a problem with my site, where JPG images over 150 KB wouldn't display and I'd get a red X. Try decreasing the filesizes.

The comic file size is 118 kb and I changed the links to the images folder... and the flash STILL doesn't display.

Hmm...try this:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT 
            codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0 
            height=270 width=110 
            classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000><PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="Bar.swf"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"> 
               <EMBED SRC="images/Bar.swf" QUALITY=high 
            PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" 
            TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" WIDTH="110" 
            HEIGHT="270"></EMBED> </OBJECT>

I don't get why that would work? I mean my other images are /images/yaddayaddayadda.jpg and they show up on the page? Plus it won't even load the previous comics.

both spots in the code where it says Bar.swf should say /images/Bar.swf

for some reason flash remains cached in your browser, so if you get a blank once, you need to empty the cache and close the browser between tries
