Where oh where has my flash gone?

Ok so I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out…

I am trying to get an interactive flash map to work on my web server. It works perfect locally, but the minute I upload it to my web server it shows up as a blank space.

Here are the steps I have already taken, but with no success.

  • 1. Turned off gzip compression (its an apache server)

  • 2. Uploaded it in binary

  • 3. Ensured all resources are present and located in the proper place

  • 4. Ebedded it into an html file

  • 5. Tried viewing it in multiple browsers

  • 6. Tried multiple combinations of file permissions

    • Link to containing folder – [URL=”http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/new/”]http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/new/[/URL]
    Link to swf – [URL=”http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/new/locator_map.swf”]http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/new/locator_map.swf[/URL]
    Link to html – [URL=”http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/new/new.html”]http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/new/new.html[/URL]
    Link to all files (Zipped) – [URL=”http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/New.zip”]http://www.worldmapbooks.com/exp/xp/New.zip[/URL]

    I cannot think of anything else to do. Any help is appriciated!
    Thankyou!

    @criterion9Jun 09.2010 — The flash element is loading...however even when I go directly to the swf I get a blank white area. Is it possible the flash element is expecting a particular location of supporting files?

    @Eye_for_VideoJun 09.2010 — AHHH... well this one has had me chasing my tail for awhile. Files work perfectly on my local machine but when I upload the files to my server, still no luck... I even tried various different methods of placing the .swf on the page. All work locally but not from the server. However I did notice that you have an swfoject file but are not providing any call to it, so of course that part's not working.

    But the biggie is when I tried to open the .swf in Flash:

    "flash cannot open a protected movie"

    Did you create and own all content? or is this "borrowed" from another site?
