The effects rendering and “Test Movie” problem I wrote about on Saturday turned out to be indeed about those fonts. When I replaced the fonts used by the imported PDF stuff with something on the font list, the problem ceased.
Now I am lookiing around to find something on the Progress Bar Component. I made a copy of my latest project, and attempted to insert some progress bars into the pages that called forth Flash movies. I can’t seem to get it to work on the server. It renders in the Test Movie mode, but sits idle at 0 when I try to load the pages into my html file. I can see the progress bar work if I browse ditectly to the swf file, but the html file which calls it using the object tag set (as created by the Publish command) is missing something, apparently.
