SoundManager can't get response from Flash in Firefox and IE
Hello, Scott!
I have faced with the following problem.
It seems like some settings of computer have been changed after installing Internet Explorer 8 so that my application works in every browser but Firefox (3.5.4) and IE.
Music player I'm working at is running localy - i have created virtual host so problems caused by loading *.swf file from local filesystem (file://...) are excluded.
I have uninstalled Internet Explorer, added path to *.swf file to the white list of Flash Security Panel but nothing has changed.
I have tried my application at computer of my colleague and everything has worked perfectly.
All I see in debug console while running appication in Firefox are the following lines:
soundManager._initMovie(): Waiting for ExternalInterface call from Flash..
soundManager._initMovie(): Got OBJECT element (created via JS)
soundManager._createMovie(): Trying to load /release_details_files/soundmanager/soundmanager2.swf
-- SoundManager 2 V2.75a.20080707 (AS2/Flash 8) --
So as far as I can see swf file has been loaded successfully and even Firebug shows me that movieContainer has been appended. But later on the page gets frozen and page doens't get refreshed - i have to restart browser in order to run application once again. I have tried to reinstall Flash Player and even to clear Application Data folder but everything still stays the same
The behaviour in IE differs a little bit. The debug console displays the following
soundManager.initComplete(): calling soundManager.onerror()
-- SoundManager 2 failed to load (security/load error) --
soundManager.disable(): Disabling all functions - future calls will return false.
soundManager: Failed to initialise.
soundManager: No Flash response within reasonable time after document load.
Possible causes: Flash version under 8, no support, or Flash security denying JS-Flash communication.
soundManager: Getting impatient, still waiting for Flash.. ;)
soundManager._initMovie(): Waiting for ExternalInterface call from Flash..
soundManager._initMovie(): Got OBJECT element (created via JS)
soundManager._createMovie(): Trying to load /release_details_files/soundmanager/soundmanager2.swf
-- SoundManager 2 V2.75a.20080707 (AS2/Flash 8) --
I would be very gratefull if you can help me.
I have been working with your library for a considerable length of time and it's the first time I have encountered with this sort of problem
PS
I think it's not essential to provide this post with link to application since it works perfectly at other computers. The reason is hidden somewhere in security settings of my computer or browsers.
Hope you have an idea of how it could be fixed
Thank you
best,
Alexander

Hrm. I assume that you can use SM2 online OK with these browsers, eg., the demos at http://www.schillmania.com/projects/s... work OK? - if these don't work nor your offline demos, I think that's important to know.
If the online demos are OK but your offline stuff doesn't work, then I would suspect flash security even though you said you had set that up before.
Another possible option is that your Flash install has somehow been corrupted or has a conflict, which I have heard of happening when a new browser is installed (typically IE). The fix may be to remove and re-install the Flash player.
Try uninstalling the Flash player, and reinstalling it. Adobe has a Flash uninstall application you can download and run to clean things out, and then you can download and re-install Flash cleanly.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157...
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
My recommendation is to download these files, then close all of your browsers so the installers can do their work, run the uninstaller, and then re-install.

Inappropriate?Hello!
Thanks for a quick and informative response.
I have followed your instructions but almost everything stays the same.
I would like to outline my situation in more detailed way.
project location - C:\wamp\www\morr
virtual host - morr.dev
mp3 files location - C:\wamp\www\morr\mp3
swf file location - C:\wamp\www\morr\release_details_files\soundmanager
I have noticed that sometimes player starts playing and some of the files are successfully loaded by soundmanager after i have manually opened them thru browser address bar
At first I have opened swf file in browser by viisting page with the following url
http://morr.dev/release_details_files...
and no errors were displayed after it but no files were playing
Later on I have opened all mp3 files from location I have mentioned above and some of them were playing.
Scott, do you have any suggestions what could cause such a strange behaviour?
thank you -
Inappropriate?You didn't mention if the demo site worked for you. This page is OK, MP3s play inline etc.?
http://www.schillmania.com/projects/s...
I assume for your virtual host, you are accessing it over HTTP, etc. http://morr.dev/ or some such. Make sure that your javascript doesn't have any errors in it that may be causing SM2 to break.
The SM2 demo pages should also work on your virtual host; if they don't work, then you may need to check the flash player security settings.
-
Inappropriate?All demo examples being copied to the same virtual host work perfectly
Even in Opera and Chrome my player is working with no errors as well
As for firefox (my favourite browser during web development) it simply can't load swf file. Seems like some security settings were damaged while IE8 installation.
Maybe I should change any settings of appache server?
thank you -
Inappropriate?So my demo page, when on your virtual host, works in Opera and Chrome, but -not- Firefox.
Does my own demo site, loading on schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/ work in Firefox, or is it also broken?
Chances are that Apache is OK unless you have changed some settings.
IF http://www.schillmania.com/projects/s... (not copied to virtual host, but loading on my site) does NOT work for you in Firefox, then there is probably something wrong with either Firefox or the Flash plugin on your computer. I might try reinstalling them as mentioned above.
IF schillmania.com/... DOES work on Firefox for you, then there is likely something wrong with your virtual host or web server.

That's exactly my situation
looks like "format c" is the best solution ))))
