issue with my .swf files

I have been working with the SFS/OpenSpace trials, and am successfully able to run the OS examples, edit them, and even create new projects (using the example .swf files); all of this runs fine.

However, when I create my own .swf files I'm having an issue. My process in Flash CS5 is as follows:
- create a symbol from an image in the library and set its class properties;
- export the .swf file and drag that into the OS Editor (where it shows up with valid class definitions);
- the classes are available for use as background parts, and on the map section I am also able see the image from the background;
- save the project and export;

I launch SFS and the client, but when I try to enter the map I created, the client is not able to load the map. The server log shows the map is being sent to the user, but nothing traces in the SFS admin panel for that extension. So, I am not sure how to debug from this point.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with Windows Vista (64), Flash CS5, SFS Pro, and OpenSpace v2?

Thanks in advance,

Nathan

What about the client? No errors traced in the Flash console?
Are you sure you are loading the SWF file containing the assets before loading the map?

- maybe I'm not looking in the right place. When I export the .swf file I don't see anything in Flash, and when I run the map I don't get anything in the SFS Admin panel Zone section for that extension.

- unsure; is this related to the first question?

1) I'm talking about client side errors when you run your OpenSpace-based application. If you test your project within Flash, you have a console in the Flash interface showing logged messages.

2) "unsure" is not a good answer :)
Check your code: are you loading the swf file containing the assets inside your the OpenSpace application?

Well I'll be darned; when I test the project within Flash the map displays!

How does that translate into the finished piece?

Then maybe when you export your application, it is not able to load the map assets swf anymore. Maybe wrong path?
