Topic: Blue screen when uploaded?

Hi all, I've just written my first widget that I based off the example rss widget .fla from the Wiki.

The widget (.swf file) works perfectly on my Mac but when I upload the file to Chumby.com all I see is a plain blue screen on my Uploaded Widgets section?

I'm using Flash 8 for Mac with the document size of 320x240 pixels & publish settings for Flash Player 6 and Actionscript 1.0.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Re: Blue screen when uploaded?

Are you using a font that's available on the Mac but not the Chumby?  Image format that doesn't work in Flash Lite?

Re: Blue screen when uploaded?

Very strange, I went through the code and (like you said) I'd accidentally configured one label to a font which didn't exist. However when I went back to my upload section the old widget was now working? Anyways I've uploaded the newer one just in case so hopefully all will be well now!

Thanks for the advice though. Looking forward to making some more widgets for the UK chumbsters!
