SWF Won't Load

Swf movie won't load on server, comes up blank

Hello all,

I recently took down my flash site and now want to upload it again. Everything seems to work except the most crucial thing: "Index.swf".

This is my intro movie that leads to the rest of the site, but it simply won't load once I put it on the server. It works fine in Shockwave, Flash, Dreamweaver, and my desktop.

What I find curious is that even by itself (not embedded in HTML) "Index.swf" won't load on the server--whereas the other movies do. The page stalls, as if loading it, then goes blank. And when I call it up with the HTML page, I just get a white box.

I don't know what happened, or why this is happening. I've tried everything. Could someone please help so I can get my site back up?

Thanks alot,
Jack

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, indigox!

Can the page find the swf? Does the movie load in anything from an external source that the pathing may be incorrect?

Thanks everyone; I finally figured it out.

I was using Fetch (circa 1994--yikes!) Once I uploaded everything using Cyberduck (nice FTP app, by the way), it's all running smooth.
