I am in the process of replicating a current website. The existing site has a .swf for the header, and I've copied the code exactly as it is on the current site (obviously changed the location of the .swf file). The problem I'm having is that it won't load in the new site. I've looked all over for "Movie not loaded" issues, but most of them are resolved with things like out of date flash player. My flash player is obviously capable of handling the exact same .swf on their existing site, and I'm about to pull my hair out. lol
Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. I'm recreating the site in asp.net if that helps anyone.
Thanks,
Mike
Check if the SWF was trying to reference any external files on the server like images or XML. Sometimes the paths to these may be hard-coded into the SWF and would need the file to be re-exported with the updated paths (or just don't change the path to this file)
Thanks. I actually put in the static url of where it's located on the existing site and it worked fine. I'm not really sure what I did wrong, but it's working.

I'm trying display a bunch of e-learning videos. However, I don't want them to be downloaded. Or, at worse, make it hard to download them. Tried a few things like a website file protection rule but still have not been successful. Any ideas out there?
Thanks

I'm having a bit of trouble with a client site, on their server (our development server is fine).
We were hoping to push it live today, so we created a test subdomain to make sure his server's okay with the site.
However, the media uploader doesn't seem to work properly. The file will upload, without any error messages, however, instead of displaying the image in the thumbnail preview, it shows a little blue ?.
The file is actually uploaded to the server, but for some reason it can't be displayed online.
For example this should be the location of a newly upload image, but for some reason it can't be accessed.
I was thinking the issue is with folder permissions, but changing everything to 777 didn't seem to do anything. So I'm a little confused as to what's wrong.
Apparently they host a couple dozen WordPress sites and don't have this issue. I did think it's a server problem because it works on two other servers.
Anyone had an issue like this before?
[EDIT]
It turns out deactivating a plugin called Sell Media Watermark does the trick.
However, this plugin is needed so I'm working to find a fix for it :)
We have a web application with over 560 pages. I would like a way to catalog the site somehow so that I can review the pages (without having to find each on in the menu or enter the URL). Be very glad for ideas on the best way to go about this.
I'd be happy to end up with 560 image files or PDFs, or one large PDF or whatever. I can easily put together a script with all the URLs, but how to pull those up and take a snapshot of some sort and save that to a file or files is where I need help.
The site is written in Java (server) and javascript (client).
I found a great plugin for Firefox that made this relatively painless. The plugin is called Screenshot Pimp (hate the name, love what it does). It takes a snapshot of your browser contents and immediately saves it to a file on your hard drive.
So then I wrote a script that would pull each page up in an IFrame with the URL showing above that, and took snapshots of each page. It took a couple hours to cycle through the whole set of 560+ pages, but it worked great, and now I have a catalog of all the pages.
We have our application stored on our server, it is an .exe file. The download page is only accessible from our site - using cookie authentication in PHP. I know there are better methods but there is a long story behind this...so I'm moving on. The issue is that the actual url of the .exe has been leaked and is appearing on other websites. What is the best method to protect a link to a file, not the page itself. That is where I'm having issues. I can make it difficult to get to the download page (with the link) but don't know where to begin to make sure the link is only accessible from our site... Is .htaccess (preventing hotlinking) the best way to go?
Yes, .htaccess is probably best. Find any online post about protecting images from hotlinking, the first in my google search looks like a nice and easy auto-generator you can use. Just change the image extensions to exe, or keep them if you want them protected too.
I'm having a very bizarre issue. I have been building a website locally on my linux box and all was well until I uploaded the site files to a place where i have some hosted space. Everything renders exactly the same except one element in my footer which i think is affecting some jquery animation i am using. I thought maybe I was missing files or hadn't uploaded the latest versions of everything, so I deleted the server directory and re-uploaded everything exactly as is from my local copy. And yet, the problem remains. I'm not sure how this is happening. Has anyone seen this before, or does anyone have an idea what could cause this? I'm baffled! Thanks everyone!!! I am attaching screen shots.
Seems to be a cache problem. Try to force a refresh with F5 or CTRL+F5.
Try clear your cache in your browser settings.
If that don't work, use Firebug (an Firefox browser addon) to check actual css at your footer. This will show the problem.
BTW: don't use spaces in your URL if you can. Don't use spaces in your filenames/folders.
