Fiona,

Finally cracked the problem. It all relates to the server name. If I use http://10.52.94.8:8080/lams the preview works

I have been using a DNS \ WINS entry to allow a slightly more friendly name to be use http://lams:8080/lams.
Using this causes the problem.
Verified on a number of workstations.

Does this relate to the setup where you specify the IP adress of the server? I remember at some stage typing in 10.52.94.8

Anyway thanks very much for you assistance

Greg

Greg,

Good sleuthing there!

The server name used by the clients should be the same one that is configured on the server. Flash can be particularly fussy about calling across domains (its a Flash security thing) and although we try to avoid it, that may be why the problem is showing up in the Flash related bits.

You would have been asked for the URL when you first installed LAMS.

To update it (to make it http://lams:8080/lams/)
* log in as sysadmin
* select the Sys Admin link
* the System Administration menu should appear
* select "Edit Configuration Settings"
* change the entry ServerURL

Please put the "/" on the end of the address ie use http://lams:8080/lams/, not http://lams:8080/lams. LAMS should cope fine with either but having the '/' is more robust in case we do a have a bug somewhere.

If you are wondering what the other settings are on this screen, click on the little question mark icon and the help page (http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lamsdocs/LAMS+Configuration) will be opened. I've just added a warning to that page about potential Flash problems if this setting is not correct.
