pulling my hair out...

[Will Yurman]

UPDATE:
I think the problem is with the new update. I replaced the new pano.swf with my older version and it works fine. Is there a bug I don't know about?

thanks
will

....and I don't have any extra.

So, I have a weekly panorama feature on my newspaper website. Each week I take last week's files, change a few file names and post the new pano.

But for some reason I can't get this week's to work. It loads the Flash shell, but not the pano.

I'm SURE it's something stupid on my part - but I can't find it - a typo in the actionscript of xml or something like that.

Not sure what info to include.
Here's the link to the non-working show:
http://democratandchronicle.com/graphics/panos/033cityhall/pano2.html

The working shows are here:
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=roundrochester

Here's the actionscript in my fla and below that the xml code. any help would be great. This is already late, so it is time sensitive. If I figure it out on my own, i'll update this.

thanks in advance,
will

Works fine here. Tested Firefox og Safari on Mac G5 OSX 10.4.11

Have checked Windows XP also. Both IE and Firefox works fine.

Using XP and FF (with Flash Tracer) the following error comes at the beginning:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mp3hotspot_fla::MainTimeline/initHandler()

Clicking on "Continue" on the error message window, brings up the pano without any problems.

Hi,
You have mp3hotspot.swf as a layer.
layer_50=mp3hotspot.swf

It shouldn't be a layer.

This is enough :
<spot id="1" url="mp3hotspot.swf" file="cityhall.mp3" repeat="0" pan="0" tilt="-0" enableSoundPannig="1" soundRadius="360" />

Regards,

Paddy

thanks everyone for the replies.
I'll try fixing the mp3hotspot issue.

I'm curious though, I switched to the older version pretty quickly, so I'm guessing everyone's tests were on that. Has anyone had problems with 2.3?

Might the hotspot issue have caused the problem with 2.3 but not the older version?

I'm nervous about trying 2.3 again.

thanks
will
