Flash Banners not showing
Hi All,
I am trying out NOF 9.1 and having easily migrated another Website from NOF
4 via a template, all was well, apart from the original site style not being
available in NOF 9.
No real problem .. I changed to another style and thought I would try using
a Flash banner. This banner shows up without problem in page and site
preview on my computer ( XP Pro ) and when internally published .. but
refuses to show up when FTP'd to the Internet.
Am I missing something to do with a special FTP / publishing technique for
Flash content ?
Any help would be welcome
Cheers
David
Re: Flash Banners not showing
If you actually drop the .swf file on to your layout, NOF generates a .js
file for this...make sure you have uploaded that to your server.

Re: Flash Banners still not showing
Many thanks for your answer Robert,
But I have just checked and two .js files have been successfully uploaded to
my server : FlashCtrl.js and Rollover.js
Should I be looking for any more elsewhere ?
All the banner files ( which are Cello-Blue-Home Flash banner1
Horizontal )
are showing as: nof_flashvar1_page_name.xml files and have similarly been
uploaded successfully.
The banners are still not showing .. just a blank gap on the page where they
should be ( no red X )
Any more ideas please ?
Cheers
David

Can you post a link? Did you close out your browsers and reload?

Re: Flash Banners still not showing
Shows up fine in FF!
I think you've had a cache issue - seen that sometimes. AOL's browser is
the worst - can take a day for changes to show.

Re: Flash Banners still not showing
Hi Garret,
Well, I am happy y'all can see them .. and heaven forbid I should ever go
near AOhelL !! ;-))
I uploaded about 12 hours ago and myserver / ISP, which is normally
instantaneous in showing changes, has shown everything else I have changed
apart from the Flash Banners.

Really - I can! See attached <g>
I have to test w/ AOL's browser for Real Estate sites. Seems they get a lot
of AOL hits (which show up in the stats as IE) - but - true to AOL history -
they've messed with it somehow so it doesn't display the same as real IE.
