Why doesn't my flash work?
I'm trying to get this working:

(warning, sex education content)

http://www.playingsafely.co.uk/12stisofchristmas/12-STIs.html

First time it just stalled after the first few frames.

This time around it's running, but I've got no sound.

Some flash sites work some don't.

I'm running windows 2000 (no choice), IE 5.5 SP2 (with latest patches)(no choice) and the latest shockwave. I've tried re-installing Shockwave and it doesn't help.

3. it works
it's pretty good, too. You may have a cached file that's not updating when you reload the flash. You could probably stand to go thru and optimize the Flash a little more, making sure you're utilizing the objects optimally. I noticed that it's a bit bulky, and perhaps unnecessarily - you may want to lower the quality of mp3, as that drastically reduces the file size yet its very difficult to notice. I did have a little trouble loading it at first (i needed to reload), this is probably due to it's bulk.

5. another thing
another thing that occurred to me is that since there are repeating sounds, you could just re-use the first verse then tack on another sound for the new day, in other words, if youre on day 12, you could just use a combination of days 1-11's soundtracks so each day doesn't involve a new mp3 (or wav, whichever you used). This may not be clearly stated, and you may already have done what I'm asking here - but that would significantly reduce file-size - which is the name of the game in Flash (as you know). Good job though, and great message!

6. Slow down, slow down
I didn't write this.

It's not my flash.

I just want to see it and hear it.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
