I created a flash movie that is doing the following:
1. getting variables from a php file with loadVars
2. putting text from one of the variables into a dynamic text field
3. Using text from the other variable to search Flickr and load an image with movieClipLoader
It repeats this function every few seconds, thereby loading a new image and new text every few seconds. This works fine on all the computers/browsers I've personally seen it on, but several users have noticed that:
1. On IE on a PC, the image keeps refreshing, but the text does not refresh. It's not clear whether the php files is actually being reloaded or if it using the same variables to search Flickr over and over.
2. On some versions of Firefox on a PC (it worked fine on mine), neither the image nor the text refreshes at all -- it only comes up the first time.
It doesn't seem to be a Flash player version issue because all the users with this problem have the minimum requirements (I've exported it for Flash player 7 and they all have 8 or 9 -- I also have a javascript running that loads the movie, or loads a warning if they don't have the appropriate player).
I'm totally baffled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
