Hi,
I posted this in a couple of other forums but haven't got a solution yet. I hope I have more luck here as it's driving me crazy.
I'm new to flash so please bare with me while I try to explain my problem.
I downloaded the Free Dynamic Flash Template from -
and uploaded it to my server and it works fine.
What I want to do is include it in a Perl generated html template page. When I do this the flash page only half loads. It appears that the graphics (stored in the images directory), text (stored in external text files - e.g menu.txt, etc.) and some of the .swf files are not being found/loaded.
When I made my own flash sample following a Macromedia tutorial ( ) and incorporated it in my Perl generated html template it works ok. I think that is because it's not dynamic (e.g the graphics are part of the .fla library).
I know this is very vague but what could be causing the problems with the Free Dynamic Flash Template? Do I need to modify the image path or something in the .fla file? Could it be a problem with the way the html template is being parsed?
Any help would be most welcomed.
Thanks.
Simon.
 
It sounds like its a pathing issue or a permissions issue. Make sure you passing the FULL URL.
Code:
"[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yoursite.com/yourfile.txt"[/URL]
