    Hello all,

    I have been using SWFobject for a while and I have run into an odd problem. I am getting perfect performance locally but when uploaded the page freezes. I have checked it in firefox and safari.

    Here is the page:
    http://www.rgbdesignstudio.com/reel.htm

    Here is the code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var fObj = new SWFObject("rgbloader.swf", "demoreel", "360", "283", 8, "#FFFFFF");
    fObj.write("demoreel");
    // ]]>
    </script>

    I have updated to 1.4.4, reloaded the files, checked the syntax and I am at a lose.

    Do I need to have some sort of code in the htaccess?

    Thank you for any help,

    Eric Curtis

    it looks ok to me - the video plays and everything looks normal.

    can you give more information, like what exactly does 'the page freezes' mean - the video doesn't play? or it starts to play then stops?

    does it happen in both firefox and safari, or just one? have you tested it on windows at all?

    Sorry to have taken your time. It was not a bug in SWFobject but a missing line in the HTaccess file. To get the flash video to work I had to add:

    AddType video/x-flv .flv

    It was trying to interpret the movie as a text document otherwise. Having read through the forum yesterday I would not be surprised if this might help others, you might want to add it to your FAQ.

    Thank you for your response.
