We are using the Flash Node module. From Create Content, we created a new flash, and uploaded a known good .swf file. When we are done editing and view the page, it shows a blank white square and the error Unable to load flash node data for node 89. How do we fix this?

I too am having the same problem. I am running PHP5.

Did you solve the problem? The file doesn't even appear in the selected upload-folder ...

In the source-code of the rendered HTML-page it shows no file either ...

Did you check your settings about the maximum size of uploaded files ?
(In php.ini, sites/default/settings.php, .htaccess)

I had the same problem that went away when I reinstalled the module (because of other reasons) and I used the default settings.

It wasn't any of those. We had already dealt with those config files previously.

I don't know if you had fixed your issue? I ad the same issue for the first time today with Drupal 6.26

I've checked file permissions, tmp dirs & input formats etc.

In the readme file: I used the flash import to get it to work, as the normal upload would give me the same error as you.

Flash node also features an "import" option. It is possible to upload multiple files under the flash directory and use flash node to import and create a node from each one. This feature is found under Administer > Content management > Import Flash.

Hope this helps in some way.

Problem was "solved" by just hacking into the page some HTML to play the .swf file - as if on an old fashioned plain hand-written HTML site. This, I'm sure, isn't the proper way.

As total noobs at Drupal working hard to get a site online, many times we had to drop back and punt with hand-written HTML. Our experiences are described well in the studies on how people learn Drupal e.g. http://drupal.org/usability-test-university-baltimore-community-solutions After several months of ignoring web work entirely, I'm ready for a fresh go at it, and hoping D7 will make more sense.
