I've got a flash file that I published from within Flash 5. First time, I did it as a Flash 5 file and it works fine on a PC but not on a MAC. Actually, it worked for awhile on a mac and now it doesn't anymore. I don't know anything that I changed.

So, then I tried to export as Flash 4 in case the people viewing it didn't have 5 (which I know they do). Still, they get nothing but a black screen. On a PC, it works fine, Macs get a black screen.

Anyway, we'd like to get this up and running on a MAC. We aren't done with the animation, but as it is now, we don't want to continue to work on it until it is working on both PCs and MACs.

Any suggestions?


EDIT: Seems like the files needed to be in the same directory. I had the actual .swf file in another directory below the file calling it and it wouldn't work. Finally, I threw them in the same directory and it started working.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

We've tried both Internet Explorer and Netscape. Neither one will show the flash movie. Although, it's money on a PC running both Netscape and IE.

Maybe I've clicked something within Flash that has upset the file. But, I've gone through the publish options and they seem to be in order.
