Flash files disappearing - Page 1 -...

One of my sites has been doing weird things lately. A few weeks ago every time the site was uploaded an error message appeared saying the site could not be uploaded due to file errors, however the site did update. Now that problem has rectified itself (don't ask me how) and since every time the site is uploaded the flash menu and photo gallery disappear. I always have to go back and re-load the menu and photo gallery. (both CC programs)
I run Vista 64 bit, CC VSD registered version as well as CC Flash Menu builder and CC Photo Gallery. Does anyone have any idea why that is happening?
The site is stbonifacecincinnati.com None of my other sites are doing this.
Thanks for any suggestions

Hiya Tim,

I just looked at your site in IE 9, FF 9.0.1, and Chrome newest. All seem to render it just fine, but maybe this is working for you right now too?

Have you tried using ccleaner to clear your browser cache and make sure it's not just your computer rendering it wrong periodically? If you don't have that program you can get it at http://www.piriform.com and it's a free program.

If you have tried that already, give us a post when it's messed up for you (post right when it's doing it) so we can see it "before" you fix it so we can see if it's messing up for us too at that moment.

If it's messing up for you right now and you actually haven't fixed it, then it's definitely something on your end that needs attention, but other than ccleaner I'm not sure exactly what other than to:

Check your browser versions to make sure you're up to date, clear your cache as mentioned above, definitely check to make sure you have the most recent build of Adobe Flash as that is the next likely culprit.

Let us know if any of that helps :)

Thanks Jo Ann-

Yes, I already re-uploaded the menu and photo gallery. I do have the latest version of Adobe, use Wise Registry Cleaner and AVG Free anti-virus. I am on IE 9, latest version, which I have set to clear the history cache upon exit. I have had problems with CCleaner in the past giving me many pop-ups through the program itself, so will not use it again.
Maybe it's just time to re-do the site. I add so much weekly from many different people, so maybe some glitch has gotten into the file. As I said, none of my other sites are having any issues, one site that goes to the same server renders just fine. I'll post again next week after uploading the latest changes.

Sounds good, also on the Ccleaner thing, I'm very sure whatever you had going on there was not from Ccleaner as it never has popups added for me and I've been using it for over 2 years or more. Just thought I'd let you know that too. Let us know when you do changes next and when it's updated and isn't working and I'll definitely check it again for ya :)

OK, so this week everything uploaded fine. What is happening with this site I'm not sure, but it seems like Coffee Cup VSD fixes itself! It could have been an image in the site which is now deleted. Last week after the upload I re-added the menu flash and the photo gallery flash back to the site and uploaded it to the server again. My other sites have had no problems.
Regarding Ccleaner, it could have been a fluke I had pop-ups as there are (were) several people using my computer. I use AVG Free and Wise Registry Cleaner to keep it running at top speed. I have heard from many people using Ccleaner with good results.
Thanks again for your help Jo Ann!

You're quite welcome Tim, good luck and hopefully it ws just a fluke with VSD that won't come back :)

Jo Ann-

I hope that is correct. Like I said, at least it fixed itself.
I have downloaded a copy of Ccleaner now. It sure is a much different interface than before. Seems to have sped up my computer a bit. Thanks again-

AArrrggggghhhhh....... it's back, but even more weird. It deleted one photo gallery, not all of them. The flash menu is working fine. The main Photo Gallery is fine.
In my VSD the Photo Gallery is there on this page, but it does not show when uploaded.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric,

I know it is missing, I'm wondering why it was there before, and it fails to display after I do a weekly edit of the site. I have had to add the flash files back to this site every week for about 6-8 weeks now, but only on this one site. Another site to the same server works seamlessly. The flash files (.xml and .swf) are on the page in VSD, and appears to be coded correctly.
This week the menu flash and main photo gallery flash files show, however in the past weeks these have been disappearing as well. I don't know what I did differently to upload these files to make them not disappear weekly.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
