sIFR 3 rev.436 is unable to sucessfully publish movie. The flash file is blank.

Question

I have been trying to get sIFR 3 rev.436 working on my site but I stuck at publishing the movie. I did everything the instruction had told me to but when I published the movie and double clicked it to test, it failed, the movie was blank with the following error. Someone said the Action Scripts should be in the same folder as the sifr.fla, it was but it didn't help at all. Here's the compiler errors:

Scene=Scene 1, layer=code, frame=1, Line 19 The class or interface 'sIFR' could not be loaded.

I was puzzled and after hours of looping in the situation I downloaded rev.432 and tested it out. To my delight, everything turned out right and I published the movie successfully! But sadly I installed re.436 in wordpress and it's wouldn't display.

Is there anyway I can solve this? Thank you.

Problems solved. Might be useful for this thread too. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1006620/sifr-3-r4-36-has-problem-with-flash-8

1. Locate to your sIFR Action Scripts. Edit with a text editor. Change the encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI.
2. You are done. Glad I found the way.

Sifr is an old alternative to display you own fonts on a website! There are now better ways to do that. Have you heard about Cufon? http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
