Call off the hounds, I've solved it. it turns out that when the a nested movie clip called the variables it called them from one nesting level up, and I'd coded that as _root.variable. Flash was fine with that in testing, but the browser plugin didn't like it. Once I'd changed the path to _parent.variable it was all working as planned again.
Odd that the Test Movie behaved differently though. -- Rick Lecoat -- Original message: Received from Rick Lecoat on 5/7/06 at 13:23 >Back again. > >Well, I *thought* it was working... >What do you guys make of a situation where a movie works in Test Movie >but not from the web server?
