Flash :: Flash Load In Netscape But Not In IE?

Detect Netscape To Load Background In Flash
Hi All,
I have searched in this forum but have not foud a good message to solve detecting the browser (netscape or IE) from within the Flash movie. The idea is in case Netscape is used as browser to activate a background in the flash movie, otherwise the movie is transparent and the backround from the HTML will shine through.
Can anybody help with a full solution. I know I have to use JaveScript in the HTML code to detect the browser and link the result to a variable but then????
Thanks

Why Will .swf's Load In NetScape But Not IE.
I know I have the flash 6 player installed for both browsers, but my .swf's won't load in Internet Explorer, only Netscape 7.0. If I test the pages from my computer using IE, it works, but not from the server. Does anybody have a clue as to why this is happening.

I know there is nothing wrong with the programming within flash because when tested it works.

go to www.delstrange.com/skdzines and click on any of these pages to see what I mean; "about me", "contact", "skills" and "resume" (skills and resume are under profile). If you can, try viewing them in both browsers. The only page that loads in IE is "about me".

Thanks.

Netscape Won't Load My Site
I have a Flash-based website that can not load on Netscape 7.1 for MAC users (OS 10 and lower) -- especially AOL users. Here's the site to see for yourself http://www.yunaverse.com. I got some code from Mozilla, however, I think it's the code in my pre-loader that needs some tweaking.

Here's the code:

onClipEvent (load) {
total = int(_parent.getBytesTotal());
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

loaded = int(_parent.getBytesLoaded());
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
_parent.counter = percent + "%";

gotoAndStop(percent);

if (loaded == total) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(5);
}

}

FYI:
1) The site was designed on a PC
2) The site is viewed with no problems for PC users using Netscape

I would greatly appreciate some assistance.

Movie Won't Load In IE But Does In Netscape Why? Help
please help me real quick? I made an eyeball movie for my website that loads after the _root movie loads. There's a button at half alpha of it that loads the eyeball when you rollover it. It works perfect in Netscape but doesn't work at all in IE. i tried it on my Mac IE and on my PC IE too! below is my code:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
loadMovieNum("eye.swf",1);
_root.play();
}

I put the _root.play(); in there so the main movie goes forward one frame and i get rid of the the loader alpha button. below is a link to my site so you can see it, but again, it only works in netscape it seems and i can't figure out why.
http://www.threebrain.com
if the eyeball does work on your IE hollaaa at me too and tell me. I'd appreciated. weird! stuff usually works in IE but not netscape

Load Movie To Different Levels Do Not Work With Netscape 4.5
Hi,

I have a main movie and can load many external swf into various levels. It can be played correctly online if I used IE5.

The problem is that some of the external movies that use the following script on a button did not work.

on (press) {
loadmovienum (external.swf, 2);
unloadmovienum (3);
}

Will Netscape 4.5 be different from IE5 in terms of viewing Flash 5 movie?

Anyone knows where is the problem that I encountered?

Thanks

Load Different Swf Files Problem (Netscape Works, IE Doesn't)
Hi, All

I have a very bazaar issue here(Netscape works, but IE doesn't), and hope you guys can help me.

Here is the situation.
1) I have one "index.htm" which embed "control.swf"
2) in control.swf, I have 3 buttons,
for each button, i have like
btn1.release = function() { _level9.presentation.display.stop(); _level9.loadMovieNum("1.swf", 9);}
btn2.release = function() { _level9.presentation.display.stop(); _level9.loadMovieNum("2.swf", 9);}
.....
3) in 1.swf, 2.swf and 3.swf
It is just very simple slide presentation file which add one MediaDisplay component "display" on each presentation stage . the "display" component's mp3 url is 1.mp3 in 1.swf, 2.mp3 in 2.swf.....and mp3 file is set up to automatically play

so here is the problem:
It works fine if I open index.htm with Netscape, but if i use IE6, the mp3 didn't play properly(seems like there is somewhere stopping the sound and then display, then stop it, then display....). (I don't know if i need to mention this. But before i add "this.focusEnabled = false;" to actions layer of 1,2,3.swf, IE works fine, but after adding, it starts the problem. then I deleted these codes, but the problem won't go away anymore....)

I hope i already explained problem clearly..

Any suggestions or advice will be highly appreciated here. thanks

Did they fix that yet?
Its been a while since I had Netscape, so I'm realy clueless about that.

Can't See Flash In Netscape 6.2
I just loaded NS 6.2 onto my PC for testing purposes and now notice all my flash movies don't appear at all, just a white box where they should be, no broken link, no popup warning etc. I'm pretty sure most were exported as flash 5 (made with mx). My site is www.sproutmedia.com which has some basic flash elements that don't show, including navigation if anyone has time to take a look. I noticed that even the 2advanced site has the same thing happening. Is this problem only with NS 6.2 or are there later browsers without the flash plugin?? Is it a good idea to have a plugin detection to divert to the macromedia download site if flash isn't detected or is there a better way? Any help much appreciated.

Flash And Netscape
I have just created a website that is using a layer and when that layer loads in netscape and the scrollbar is not in either the full top or full bottom position but anywhere between it seems to completely blow the buttons out of position. Therefor anything in the background that is clickable is not. What am I missing here? Is this fixable?

This is the URL, if you have netscape, position the scollbar just a little below the complete top position and try and use any navigation.

Flash 5, FSCommand And Netscape 6
Hello all

I'm trying to run some JavaScript using the FSCommand, but it seems that Netscape 6 does not run the DoFSCommand function as generated by Flash 5.

I recently discovered that the FSCommand does not work on IE on the Mac . . . is there a similar problem with Netscape 6 or is it more likely that I am doing something wrong?

Would appreciate any help . . .

Flash/PHP POST Vs GET In Netscape
I'm having a problem when calling external PHP scripts in Flash using load variables when viewed through Netscape...
When I use POST as the method, none of the variables are passed to or from the script...
When I use GET as the method, the script seems to be called twice and the output is doubled...
If I use neither, and attach the variables to the end of the address in a query string, the output is quadrupled...
In IE, POST works fine, but the results from GET or a query string are the same as above.
Any ideas?

Flash In Netscape Browser
I have 3 flash .swf images on my web page - they look fine using Internet Explorer, but when I view the page in a Netscape browser all 3 of my .swf images have a white background rather than the transparent background they should have. I used "transparent windowless" when I did the publish settings in Flash 5. Is there something different I need to do so that the background will be transparent in both types of browsers?

Thanks,

Flash Forms And Netscape
Hi there.. misleading title sorry, 2 seperate questions. ignore this elsewhere.

1. How do I make forms in flash and then resize the text input field without it messing with the proportions and size of the text inside it.. when I resize the box to the measurements I need it stretches the type that goes inside.

2. When I embed my swf in a HTML page, Netscape (4.73 Mac) changes all the text to what appeared to be a snippet of HTML, but it was nothing that related to my document. When I clicked on a button the page changed but a related animation did not play and some of the body copy had again been changed to what appeared to be a snippet of Actionscript used in my movie.

What's going on? Netscape bug? It works fine in IE.

Flash 5 bu the way, any help would be a big help!

Netscape Flash Player.
Is there a way for my users to install the flash player with out the complicated download file and install process, that plauges Netcrap..oops I mean Netscape?

Thanks for helping/listening to me vent.

Netscape Navigator And Flash
Does anyone know why Flash movies need more room in Netscape 4+? If you place a flash movie 460x200 say in a table cell it displays with those exact dimensions in IE, but if you open the same page in Netscape an invisible "border" is displayed pushing everything out of order? Grrrr. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

POST From Flash In Netscape Vs. IE
Greetings -

I am using a function in my Flash application to post a variable value to an .asp page, in order to call up that page in a new window with information, pertaining to the submitted variable value.

Anyone seen similar problems and/or know of a solution? Thanks much!

Netscape 7 Problem With Flash 5
Just wondering if anybody is having a weird problem loading several external Flash movies into the main movie by using Netscape 7 for Windows. This problem does not happen to IE 5.

The problem I'm having occurs when I preloded several extrenal flash movies into the main movie, what happened was Netscape loads the first SWF and then skip the rest, then plays the main movie. However, I noticed that the other SWF are still being preloaded in the background.

What's coded in the main Flash movie are as the following :

frame 1 : loadMovie("one.swf","one_mc");

load the extrnal movie, one.swf, iuto one_mc movie clip in the main movie

frame 2 : stop();

stop the main movie and waits until the external movie has been loaded completely
another MC is running which checks if the loaded bytes of the external movie has reached the total bytes, if so then tell the main movie to play the next frame, otherwise keeps looping until all bytes are loaded.

frame 3 : loadMovie("two.swf","two_mc");

frame 4 : stop();

yet another MC is running to check if the external movie has been fully loaded.

...
frame 20 : one_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");

tells the one.swf which has been loaded to one_mc to play the frame called 'play'
...

On each external movie, the first frame contains stop(); command which will stop at the first frame and wait for the main movie to tell them to play.

It seems that Netscape 7 skips all the stop(); command in the main movie after the first movie has been loaded, so it plays all the frames on the main movie until the end, while the other extrenal Flash movie still being loaded ( which is not supposed to happen that way ).

I would like to know if you Flash Gurus have experienced such problem and already find a work arround the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Publishing Flash For Netscape
