I've started work on a Flash 5 chat client in conjunction with Cold Fusion.
At the moment its very basic, all it does is store new messages in a text file via a CF script, and then use another script to read the same file into the main chat window (a dynamic text field), all using the LoadVariables
function.
The main chat window is inside an embedded movie clip which calls the script to read from the file every few seconds.
The problem that i'm having is that on most PCs this works, but on one specific PC it reads the chat dialogue from the text file once and then doesn't refresh the main chat window any more. But the user can still submit messages, and although they can't see them they are being stored in the text file.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats preventing the chat window from refreshing on this PC ? I've checked things like browser security settings and permissions, but this had no effect. Its a PC using IE5.5 under Windows 2K.
Has anyone had any experience with other IE pluging or addons causing this problem ?
On 7 other PCs which are similarly set up in our office, the chat client works fine.
Any help appreciated,
Matt.
