I was browsing the forum looking for  my problem and I could not find anything.

I am evaluating Megazine3 and I have a test book that works fine in any browser when is run locally, but when loaded from a remote server everything works but it do not play the mp3 files (in IE9, Firefox and OPera). It only plays sounds in Chrome.

What could be wrong in my configuration?

Any help is appretiated.

Thanks

There are a couple of possible problems:
  • you did not copy everything needed. If e.g. the style.css file cannot be found, at least FF will not show anything
  • If your server is Windows based with IIS, then you had to declare .mz3 and .asul as valid MIME types. Using the "fat" version it is sufficient to rename megazine.mz3 to megazine.xml (also in the path  in the index.html file). Thats what the flags in the batchfiles (the mz3-Tool) do.
  • Your path or file names contain upper and lower case letters and you did not pay attention to it. On Windows machines this will work, since WIndows doesn't care. But UNIX based systems do care, and therefore Mybook and mybook e.g. are different!

If you have the console plugin listed and set the attribute/parameter errorlevel="WARNING", hitting the "#" key within the MZ3 title will pop up a console window with hopefully helpful information. FLASH must have control for that (to pass control to FLASH click into the MZ3-title or FLASH area)

Very helpful tools are also the debug tools of the browsers. liek Firebug (Firefox) or Tools - JavaScript Console (Chrome).

If the sound is playing, you at least got over the first hurdles ;-)
Good luck!

Thanks for your answer, I misspelled the file style.css (I copied stile.css). Now everything works fine.
