I hired a flash programmer to write a clickable map for me. The map displays the country with all the counties clearly displayed, when you click on a county it opens that county, it then list all of the towns in that county, the list of towns is generated from a file, the file contains x, y coordinated for example:

x1=698&
y1=413&
name1=Testing&
link1=http://www.testing.com&
windowundefined=_self

The problem now is when I copy the flash program and all of the files to my site, the map works except that the towns don’t display, the flash program says error where the name normally is.

The programmer says it works for him, he sent me a screen dump, I have tried 3 different PC’s all get this error, one of the PC is at work, so it can’t be my configuration problem.

The question is, Is there anything on a PC that would enable it to work for him and not for me, shouldn’t the Flash program cater for the lowest common denominator on the web, otherwise my website would work for some and not for others, which clearly is not good.

The problem now is when I copy the flash program and all of the files to my site, It doesn't

sounds like the text file is missing from the website, or is mal-formatted.

It sounds like the counties data might come from an external (XML) file, and the file is missing, or the link for the file isn't correct.
