    Default Error playing published movie

    Hi

    I created a game and published it into a .htm file and a .dcr file
    When I play the game via the html-page on my drive the movie suddenly
    interrupts and a message says that iexplore.exe has encountered a problem and
    has to be shut down.
    When I upload the whole thing to my homepage I sometimes (when I've
    scripted: go frame 5 of movie "movie") get a director alert that says "unable
    to open http://.../movie", but not ALL times I ask it to go frame 5 of movie
    "movie".

    I find this problem very awkward and have no idea how to sort it out...

    a) Maybe you have a broken Shockwave installation on your computer. Try
    uninstalling the reinstalling:-

    b) Maybe you have a broken browser.

    c) What happens if you run it from a web server, perhaps even one on your
    computer?

    It seems to have nothing to do with a broken Shockwave and my browser seems
    fine (although on the computer I created the file there is no Schockwave
    installed).

    When I run the movie on my drive it all works even when going to another movie
    (or actually the same movie restarts) but suddenly at any time it interrupts.
    When I run it on the net the director error also appears as go to the movie

    I tried one thing out - instead of writing go frame 5 of movie "movie"
    i wrote goToNetMovie "http://.../movie.dcr#game" althought this didn't
    help...

    The odd thing is I call the same procedure at two times but only at one of the
    times it crashes.
