GAH! I hate programming when nothing ever works!

I'm completely lost... I'm not even begun to do anything fancy and it's already struggling with weird issues:

- My swf files are loading the correct path into the browser, but when loading into MegaZine the pages are blank/white. This is the weirdest one for me at the moment as I jsut don't know what to change because all the paths are correct!

- The paths to the swf files and xml files seem VERY sensitive. Do I use absolute paths: /megazine/megazine.mz3 or relative paths ../megazine/megazine.mz3 or domains http://mydomain.com/megazine/megazine.mz3 - and is it relative to the megazine.swf, megazine.mz3, pages, who knows.

- CSS styling is killing me with Internet Explorer and sometimes Firefox where absolute positions and height/width seem to be required otherwise the megazine window just doesn't show.


EDIT:
I'm making a bit of progress with my issues... it appears that the pages are blank when viewing with www. but OK without www.

Hey Pete,

haha, I know that feeling just too well

First point: mm, maybe a security/sandboxing issue?

Second: relative paths are relative to the megazine.swf, i.e. paths that have no protocol prefix (e.g. http:// or https://).

Third: ah, yes, what fun adjusting CSS to work in every browser can be! This pie chart captures the reality of web design quite nicely, if you don't know it already.
