Our client is hosting their own website and we have cmsBuilder version 2.08 running in a test environment. I need to upload swf files and I had to turn off the flash uploader in the general settings and even though images upload, swf files throw the error.

Hi,

Is it giving you that error when uploading the file? Is it just one swf file, or does more than one swf file cause the same error?

Let us know and we can look into this further for you.

Thanks

Yes, when trying to upload the swf file - only 1 file. I have flash uploader off, browse for file, the click the upload, it runs alittle bit and then gives me the error in red.

Hi,

Have you tried to upload a different swf file in case there is an issue with that particular file?

I wonder if we have the same issue.

Perhaps it is the server or the host company.
Do you mind saying who you are using for hosting?
We have hostmysite for this client.

Hi,

If you could send in a [url http://www.interactivetools.com/support]2nd Level Support Request[/url] and provide an example of one of the swf files you're using, we can take a closer look into this for you.

Thanks,

sublmnl - unfortunately this is one our clients Windows server and I don't know much about their set up. If I find out the problem, I will make sure to post it.

Sublnl - I found my problem and maybe it will help you. Jason at Interactive Tools was able to upload a swf file but I couldn't. My swf files were coming back coded to 13 which is an swc file when using the getimagesize() check in the coding. I found that I had a check in the box next to "Compress Movie" under SWF Settings in the Publish settings. As soon as I unchecked it, my swf file uploaded. Hope this helps.
