The file works fine on the web server but on desktop gives this ERROR.
lodaing: failed. I am unable to show the project OFF Line also.
Here is the link for the web
http://www.imedia.ae/virtour/SharjahVR/SharjahVR.html
I tried on Windows XP, MAC on Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 10.5.2.
I even download the whole project from web and run the html file but still got the ERROR Message.
I sent this file to client and they are getting the same ERROR.

Rana

I looked at your xml and see it is done by Patrick. (www.cheathamlane.net )
Due to copyright I will not check this one any further.
This virtual tour's interactivity, coding and XML is by CheathamLane for www.imedia.ae .
This tour includes customized plugins for FPP, created specifically
for this tour. They are not free nor for download and/or use outside of this tour.
you have to ask Patrck for this.
when I want to check this I will need to download all files form your website to see if it works here and that is not allowed.:( :cool:

You do not need the XML to diagnose your problem.
In most cases this is because of the Flash security restrictions.
Just right click and choose flashplayer settings. Click the blue question mark and at the page choose Global Security Settings Panel.
Edit locations and add your folder with the site or your drive on your computer.

Hi Rana:
Yes, there seems to be an issue on Windows.
I can view it just fine on several different Macs here, and have always been able to. I work offline when building projects. :)
[@ Hans, et al]: I'm not so sure it is a Flash security issue. I ran through all the Flash security steps on my Windows XP Pro installation, and IE7 fails to load every time. I have finally got it working on Firefox on windows.
@ Rana: I'll send you a new HTML file, so you can at least view it in Firefox on Windows. I wasn't aware that viewing offline would be a necessity. (ps: you should be sure to post the tour to the "showcase" part of the FPP forums, when it goes live on the Web)
The original embedding code, which fails on Windows is:
<div id="flashcontent">This content requires flash blah blah</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("base/fpp/preview_pano.swf", "pano1", "1000", "650", "6.0.65", "#a6daf0");
so.addVariable("preview","base/images/CoverPict.jpg");
so.addVariable("movie","base/fpp/pano.swf");
so.addVariable("redirect", window.location);
so.addVariable("xml_file","base/_setup.xml");
so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess","sameDomain");
so.write("flashcontent");
window.document["pano"].focus();
</script>
The new embedding code, which removes the "preview pano" situation, and works in Firefox on Windows is:
<div id="flashcontent">This content requires flash blah blah</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("base/fpp/pano.swf", "pano", "1000", "650", "6.0.65", "#a6daf0");
so.addVariable("xml_file","base/_setup.xml");
so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess","always");
so.write("flashcontent");
window.document["pano"].focus();
</script>
So, I'm not 100% sure where IE is hanging up... Is it possibly a SWFObject issue with IE, or have I missed something completely obvious?
@ discocandy: Thanks for the congrats on the tour -- I took Rana's photography and design and made them "live". The thumbnails bar is my favorite part. ;)
Thanks also for reading the XML and being aware -- the tour belongs to Rana, plugins and all, so he can grant permission to whomever he likes. The custom plugins are written specifically for his tour, though, and won't really work elsewhere.

Hey there:
OK...
I can now view this (and other) FPP presentation offline in IE7 on Windows.
For everything in the tour's folder(s), I had to:
Delete all ".DS_Store" files (do a search for this file name, making sure to allow for hidden files). These are Mac-specific files, which might be getting in the way for some reason
Delete all "Thumbs.db" files [again, a search and mass delete is quickest -- make sure you are just searching in the tour's folder(s)]
Uninstall Flash, using uninstaller from Adobe (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157) (or here (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/))
Reboot
Uninstall Flash again (Why? got me... but the first uninstall did not remove all the Flash files)
Reboot, just to be sure
Reinstall Flash (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/)
Doublecheck that the Flash Security settings (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html) allowed for content to be played from my Desktop (which is where I'm testing this tour from)
Go!
Rana, please use the original SharjahVR.html file and give it a whirl. It works here, now for me.
[edit: BTW, just wanted to note that this issue was happening for me with _all_ local Flash and FPP content, not just Rana's tour]
