One of those Moments that Makes You Go “Duh”
Rendered with sIFR 3, revision 407
I spent probably 20 or 30 minutes scowering the internet trying to find information on this damn error and couldn’t find anything that fit exactly the problem I was having.
I was working on integrating sIFR 3.0 into a website for a client. Now this client happened to utilize the same fonts that I had used for another recent client job, so I just copy>pasted the sIFR info that I had used on the old client site into the new client site, adjusted the domains in the css/js and figured I’d be done ahead of time. However, no matter what I did I would get that damn error above with stupid amounts of padding below each of the elements using that style.
Turns out I had set the domains in the first sIFR export so that it wouldn’t work on any domain but it’s own, which was of course the smart thing to do. I definitely didn’t REMEMBER that though when I was fighting with this dumb thing, at least not till about half an hour after the fact. Duh.
So if you’re here because you had a similar problem, fix your domains in the Options.as file and re-export. That is, if you’re not trying to greedily steal someone else’s bandwidth and fonts :P
