What happens if you put it on a server? IIRC, in IE7 there's a requirement that you point to the files with an absolute path if it's delivered locally. If you're using the default wrapper, it's not going to be doing that for you. If the only place you're seeing the problem is when you test locally, it's probably not worth your while to mess with the wrapper. Someone on here may be able to provide you with the javascrpt to give an absolute path.
From: troisieme on 18 Dec 2008 09:42 Thanks for your suggestions Amy. I am using AW6.5 educational edition. I have put these files on the web and they work fine on my T43p running XP. I am curious as to how they play on vista machines generally. I am beginning to suspect that my vista machine is really messed up. After all if my files work on XP I must have done something right! I wonder if you would do me a favor - or anybody reading this - and see if you can run the following: http://www.rpi.edu/locker/53/001053/aminac.htm
From: Mike Baker **Adobe Community Expert** on 18 Dec 2008 10:48 I have a virtual machine set up with Vista and IE7 for testing. I get a dialog that says the movie is missing or has wrong length. I checked the trace file and the length value is the "Size on disk" rather than the actual size of the movie which you originally had in there (looking back in previous posts). Change the legth value back to 549013 (I think that's what it is) and try it again. I can try again from here also once the change is made.

From: deuxieme on 18 Dec 2008 14:07 Thanks Mike. I went back to the T43p and made the change to the aam file and loaded it to the remote site with Filezilla. I verified the size using the Filezilla display. This file (aminac) comes up instantly on my T43p under XP. Different story on the T61 running Vista. After giving permission to the web player to run the content, all I get is a "loading file" display. The application does not show up at all. The prtrace.txt also does not appear and so I cannot tell what is going on.

Don't forget to clear your cache between tests. If you don't do that then you'll get the same map file again and again. I tried it again and now the movie and all the files are downloading correctly. My Vista does not have quicktime installed. What version of quicktime do you have? Make sure you turn off protected mode in your tests. In protected mode IE7 will not launch an EXE from the browser which is what we need to do. Mike -- ==================== Mike Baker Adobe Community Expert mike-baker at cox dot net |
