Flashblocks Flash CMS Component
(Flash Content Management System)

Hi,

I'm testing my Flash site locally using an Apache server on my computer. The issue I'm having is when I load the site and right click and select 'login' I don't get a login screen, but rather all that happens is a blank screen with a wheel spinning and nothing ever happens. Weird? Any thoughts?

Thanks

It sounds like some files are missing. Are you testing the demosite that resides in the www directory?

No I'm testing my full site that I copied to the www directory.

First off I installed the Apache server on my PC as per this page - http://flashblocks.com/content/view/119/50/

Then copied all my files into this location "C:xampphtdocs"

Started the Apache server and then loaded the site into Mozilla.

The site loads perfectly, no FlashBlock errors are prompted. It is just when I right click and select login that the issue occurs.

Oh and the only way I can get back to the main site again is if I right click again and select
fb.menu.cancelEditing.

Weird! Thoughts?

Flashblocks allows you to test your movie, login, and even editing right in Flash but in order for that to work you need to open flashblocks/flashblocks_config.xml and edit the localhost address.

Code: :

localhost="http://localhost/2.0/www/"

You will want to change this to the location of your website. You can find this by opening a browser and typing localhost in the url field. You should see your website.

Code: :

localhost="http://localhost/"

Place this url into the locahost attribute.

Note that you should be able to skip the configuration if you test from the browser instead of from within Flash.

Also I would place your flashblocks website into a sub folder of htdocs for best organization. In which case you website would be at

Code: :

localhost="http://localhost/subfolder/"
