Yep. I'm loading some external png files using loadMovie. Locally this works great using localhost viewing the site in a browser. But when I upload to my web server the png's don't load.

Yes, I do have everything uploaded, I've checked a million times, deleted and re-uploaded but no luck. In my Flash file I had the path relative and even tried an absolute path pointing to my website (of course this no longer works locally) and still nothing when I view the page from the web.

Has anybody else ever had this problem?

Many thanks!

Jeff

First thing I would check for is linkage to the holder_mc, instance names and slight address errors in the AS.

Without seeing anything I can't be very specific.

Well I figured out the problem. Apparently Flash was being case-sensitive, but only on the web. Go figure. So if anybody else ever has this problem, always use the same cases as the file you're loading. Seems to work fine locally but when you upload you may get problems... ;)

erm.. thought that was taken for granted... FilE.jpg is not the same as file.jpg

Glad you got it sorted though.
