Child SWFs or modules, including resource modules, that are loaded at runtime sometimes fail to load when the SWF file location is specified as a URL parameter (such as "resourceModuleURLs").
The following are typical scenarios that could cause this issue. For example, do not pass the location of the child SWF as a query string parameter in an HTML page:
<!-- Don't do this --> <a href="http://www.example.com/MyApp.swf?stylemodule=http://www.example.com/mymodule.swf">Click here</a>
/* Don't do this */ swfobject.embedSWF( "MyApp.swf?resourceModuleURLs=http://www.example.com/mymodule.swf", "flashContent", "100%", "100%", swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvars, params, attributes);
<!-- Don't do this --> <mx:SWFLoader source="http://www.example.com/MySubApp.swf?styleModules=http://www.example.com/mystylemodule.swf"/>
Instead of passing the location of the child SWF file as a URL parameter, pass it as a flashVars variable in the HTML wrapper's script:
/* Do this */
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.resourceModuleURLs = “http://www.example.com/mymodule.swf”;
swfobject.embedSWF(
"MyApp.swf",
"flashContent", "100%", "100%",
swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvars, params, attributes);
