Brief expert checklist for (and follow-up to ): when a Flash movie appears but some controls or a gallery stop responding after upload, the problem is usually environmental (server or embedding), not the SWF itself. Work through the steps below in order — they find most issues quickly.

  • Check the browser DevTools Network tab for failed requests (404/403) for the SWF, images, or XML the gallery uses.
  • Ensure the server serves .swf with the correct MIME type (application/x-shockwave-flash) and that filenames match case exactly (Linux hosts are case-sensitive).
  • Look for JavaScript errors in the console; a script exception can prevent embedding or ExternalInterface calls.
  • If interaction works locally but not on the server, compare file permissions and any path differences introduced during upload.
  • Verify embedding parameters: try a reliable embed method (for example, SWFObject) and test removing or changing wmode — transparent/opaque can break mouse events or change stacking.
  • Inspect CSS and layout: absolute-positioned DIVs, overlays, or z-index issues can block clicks over the SWF.
  • If the SWF loads external assets from another domain, confirm crossdomain access is permitted and that mixed-content rules (HTTP vs HTTPS) aren’t blocking resources.
  • Test with a Flash debug player or on multiple browsers to collect error traces before changing code.

If this thread is read years later: Flash has been deprecated and browser support removed; for long-term compatibility consider migrating the gallery to HTML5/JavaScript or using an emulator for archival playback.

looks ok to me...{using firefox..}

Could be a browser related thing...
What browser are you experiencing the problems on?
What kind of help do you need?


p.s. one thing I did think was that the site intro was a little long-winded and slow...Having the 'Enter site' link appear at the bottom throughout the intro might be an idea, as some people won't like being forced to sit through the entire intro before being able to enter the site!
