Flash :: Internet Explorer Links

Links Don't Work In Internet Explorer, But Do In AOL
hello,

I am doing a website for the management company I work for and I am almost done but I have run into a really weird problem. Hoping someone here can help me out.
Basically, there are certain links in a couple flash movies I published for the site that work in AOL but not in Internet Explorer.

To show you what I mean, please visit: http://albertkay-jayyoo.com/instrumentalists.htm in Internet Explorer. And if you have America Online, please visit the same web address in AOL.

Click on Mark Zeltser, Pianist or Barnabas Kelemen or Adam Fellegi. Those three musicians have links that lead to their own site whereas everyone else links to a part of the albert kay website. (Don't know if that has anything to do with it?)

Do the links works for you in Internet Explorer? If they do, then I'm really confused.

Anyway, if anyone can help I sure would appreciate it cuz I have no idea how to fix this.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. if anymore info is needed to help me out, please let me know.

URL Links Won't Work In Internet Explorer
I have created the attached menu bar and it won't work in Internet Explorer. Someone on Flashkit tested it in W2K with Netscape Navigator and said it was fine.

Why is this happening?

Flash Javascript Links Not Working In Internet Explorer
Hi,

I've searched through the previous discussion in this forum but couldn't find the answer. I'm sure this is a common problem that can be resolved easily.

i have a site that has a series of thumbnail links that opens custom sized pages via Javascript. Works perfect in Firefox, but only 1 of the 10 links works in IE.
I'm using internet explorer 6 - pretty sure its SP2 (not at computer to check - using works computer to post this message).

With IE, there is an icon on the bottom left that says "Done" with a warning label on it.

How can I resolve this issue so the site works fine with Internet Explorer.

Thanks

Flash Movie Links Do Not Respond In Internet Explorer But Do In Firefox And Opera...
Hello, everyone.

I am posting this request for help after having lighted upon an annoying issue I have been unable to solve myself. I have been toying for quite some time with the idea of producing a CSS-formatted Flash movie that would load its entire contents from either .txt or .xml files, or both, if necessary, and display them by means of the text area component. With the help of Mr Johnny Gulag of the SitePoint forums, I succeeded in introducing into it the more intricate features I had initially envisaged, so that I finally got it to look exactly as I wanted.

Then, when I tested the movie in Internet Explorer, none of the links would open when clicked; of the three context menu options (open, open in new window, copy link), only the third retained its functionality, but I very much doubt any visitor would go to such lengths as to copy the link, paste it into the address bar and thus reach the intended external web site. This was all very vexing, indeed.

I further opened the movie in question in Flash MX 2004's in-built player and everything worked all right; then in the standalone Flash Player 7, and it was fine there, too. However, after I had previously inserted the movie into an xhtml page, the links were as good as dead. I tried inserting it using both the standard (though W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict invalid) Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 method and the Flash Satay method, but to no avail: no links opened. There, I thought, must be something else at the bottom of it.

It occurred to me that I had not tested it in browsers other than Internet Explorer: once opened in Mozilla Firefox and Opera it functioned properly, and also in Netscape while using the Firefox rendering engine (but, as was to be expected, not while behaving like Internet Explorer).

I am currently all at a loss to understand this exception. The only thing I can suppose to be of importance in this case is that my instance of Internet Explorer has the Flash Player 8 beta installed, whereas all the other browsers still run the 7.0.19 version of the Flash plug-in. Could this be what is causing the links not to respond? I thought of uninstalling the version 8 beta, but decided not to, as soon there is bound to appear the version 8 proper, which I would install any way. It would be very odd indeed to think that anything one produced in Flash MX 2004 would in some respect cease to work in Flash 8...

I should be most grateful again if anyone suggested a working solution. I suppose I am not the only one to have experienced the inconvenience of this
kind...

Internet Explorer And Flash - Freakin Explorer Bar
Okay, I'm pretty new at with Flash, and the whole actionscript/xml/xhtml stuff. When I upload my .swf to the web, I always get that explorer bar dropping bombs everytime I open the page. And I get it on just about every computer. Is there a special embed tag or some trick I'm missing to make that thing go away. Also, why do some sites automatically focus and others not. How do I do that?

Internet Explorer 6.01
Hi,

I have experienced a strange thing lately. My website worked well with Internet explorer 5.5 and still works well with Internet explorer 6.01. However, since I made a windows update on my pc I get scroll bars at the bottom and on the right hand-side of the content window. The website has been built in php and redirect several pages to flash MX. It is working well from there. But as soon as I am using the link from flash that tells me to come back to the content window in php, I get the scroll bars on the content window when it never used to be the case with my other version of Internet Explorer. Maybe I need to add some lines in my source in flash to make it work.

Thank you,

Seb

Internet Explorer 6 And SWF
Hello,
I have installed Adobe Flash Player 9 in my PC and when attempt to open to a file swf with Internet Explorer 6, the content is seen in target. When seeing the source code of the generated page appears the following code:
<html><head> <script src= " head of cattle: //xpsp3res.dll/objectembed.js " ></script> <script language= " Javascript " to >var objectSource= " file:///C:/WINDOWS/Help/Tours/mmTour/segment3.swf "; </script> </head><body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 scroll=no> </body></html>

Thanks very much.

Internet Explorer
I don't understand why it won't show up on internet explorer. It kind of annoying because internet explorer won't show my transparent images either. Plus it always makes the text bigger than it is supposed to be set at, but that I can't fix. Anyway, can someone help me out so my flash will show up? Also if you could, could someone tell me what file format shows up transparent on IE?

MS Internet Explorer Changes
I just found out about these changes and wonder what everyone here thinks about this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/

After reviewing what Macromedia says about this, and in light of the fact that I have over 1000 pages on my sites that use Flash, I am inclined to wait for the updating tools that MS and macromedia are working to create.

What do you think?

Pop Window Internet Explorer 5.5
ok we have a site (flash) hosted on some ip address (given in html code). its working fine. but we don't want user to see the ip address so we are using a frameset file hosted on some other server so that when opens the site he should see that frameset page's url. but when we put that index2.htm (given below in html code) one of the links (reservations) in the flash site that opens up a pop up window doesn't work particularly in internet explorer 5.5.

PLEASE SAVE IT AS HTM AND OPEN IN IE 5.5 CLICK ON RESERVATIONS ON THE LEFT LINKS. IT SHOULD OPEN A POP UP WINDOW BUT IT DOES NOT. ALTHOUGH ITS WORKING IN IE 5.0 AND NETSCAPE.

This problem is for IE 6 users only (I am IE6 users too)
Can anyone help me out in fixing this problem ???

Befuddled By Internet Explorer
I'm using a SharedObject to track what the user's last page visited on my site is in order to restore the site to that page if the user leaves the site and then hits <Back>, or if they visit for a second time then they will skip the intro. My dilemma is that the code works as I expect in both Opera 7.0 and Netscape 7.02, but fails in Internet Explorer 6. I've chased this all day, and am positive that IE is properly reading my SharedObject, just not advancing the movie properly with the gotoAndPlay.

The code on my first keyframe is as follows:

loadVariablesNum("variables.txt", 0);
_global.myAnchor = "start";
_level0.goNow = "start";

visitorSO = SharedObject.getLocal("vizantTrove");

if (visitorSO.data.myLocation == undefined) {
visitorSO.data.myLocation = _global.myAnchor;
visitorSO.flush();
}else{
_level0.goNow = visitorSO.data.myLocation;
gotoAndPlay(_level0.goNow);
}

Why doesn't this work with IE? Is there a better way to perform the gotoAndPlay?

Every page on my site has the _global.myAnchor variable set equal to the page's label.

I really appreciate help with this. I'm running out of hair to pull out.

Internet Explorer Caching
Hi,

This seems almost like a newbie question, however something has been driving me mad for years.

How do you ensure that Internet Explorer loads a new version of the swf rather than the cached one?

I've tried everything but it only seems to work intermittently.

Thanks in advance!

Internet Explorer 6 Problem With Pop Ups?
does anyone know if there is an issue with using flash mx and dreamweaver 4 and internet explorer 6??

I'm working on a mac and i'm having problems with my pop up windows in internet explorer 6. Now they work fine in internet explorer 5 and the latest netscape and aol etc... I guess i'm just wondering if anyone knows of any issues with the flash mx and internet explorer 6.

I have created pop up in flash 5 and they work fine in internet explorer 6. What i have noticed is that the code i have used in the html document doesn't so up in the source when viewing in ie6 but it does show up in ep5 etc... it's definately present.

any clues??

i'd appreciate any theories.

Publishing For Internet Explorer
Does anyone know if I have to embed my Flash site within an HTML page for Internet Explorer to view? Everytime I try to test the site with Explorer I get errors. Safari doesn't have a problem. I know my Explorer has the plug-in, so not really sure what the deal is.

Damn Internet Explorer
i have a website in which visitors can listen to songs, and i play the songs in a flash mp3 player file, but so the visitors dont have to wait for all the songs to load i have a 1K swf that says "Listen" then when the click that the swf loads the 200K mp3 player swf and the song plays.

Now in firefox and other browsers it works fine, but in internet explorer it doesn't even show the Listen swf and a security notice pops up saying "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..."

Is there anything i could do to the html page, or the swf file so that Internet Explorer won't block it?

Thanks for the help

[F8] Pop-up Won't Work In Internet Explorer
Hi all,

I've got this piece of code to open a full screen pop-up window:

Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:window.open('e-movie/index.html','e-movie','width='+(screen.width - 10)+',height='+(screen.height - 30)+',screenX=0,screenY=0,directories=0,fullscreen=1,location=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,toolbar=0');void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer, nothing happens there. I'm sure there's something wrong around the 'width='+ area but I just can't figure out what.
Hope someone can help me, thanks for your time.

[F8] Pop Up Internet Explorer Issue
Hey I have a flash website published targeting flash 6 with links which open popup window with videos etc..

I have used the geturl command and it works fine for all browsers but internet explorer.

I then bought this extension from adobe and same thing

you can check it out at www.crimsonfilm.com under projects all but the "links" option uses geturl command and the "links" uses the other extension.

both are here:

1. Get url

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.crimsonfilm.com/nonflash/alphabet.html','newWin','width=357,height=352,left =750,top=400,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes ,status=No,resizable=Yes,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

2. Adobe extension

on (release) {

//Open Browser Window Behavior
var qT=unescape("%22");
var win_name="newWin";
var blank_sp=win_name.indexOf(" ");
win_name=(blank_sp==-1)?(win_name)win_name.join(" "));

Single Swf And Internet Explorer

one single swf file was uploaded to a website and it needs that "click to

where there's more then just a swf, it uses the html and the javascript file, there's no problem.

any help plz

Loadvars And Internet Explorer
Hi,

A movie i've been working on works fine in safari and firefox, but with IE it won't load the .asp page. I used IE Watch to see if the path was correct, and it seems to be getting the page properly, but then flash just decides that it didn't.

here is the file http://www.tarantinos.co.uk/events.swf.

I've tried using onLoad and onData, and have settled with onData, however neither worked in IE.

Here is my onData code:

ActionScript Code:
var eventsData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
eventsData.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src == undefined) {
tracer("Error loading content.");
return;
}
_global.eventText = src.split("|");
for (i=0; i<eventText.length; i++) {
temp = eventText[i].split(chr(13)).join(" ");
eventText[i] = temp.split("#");
}
makeHeadings();
};
eventsData.load("events.asp");

makeHeadings is a function to change the loaded data into movieclips etc..

I can't work out what is wrong with it, so i was hoping that i'd done something stupid which one of you guys could spot.
I can post the .fla if required

Internet Explorer Pop Up Problem
www.theplayground.net.au/cc5

The enter button 'pops up' the main site perfectly in every browser except Internet Explorer!

Has anyone ever come across this problem and managed a way around it?

Thanks

Flash And Internet Explorer
hey everyone,
I know this has popped up so many times and im sure there is a simple solution, I have searched everywhere, but the answer im looking for just isnt around.

If you have a second to glance at www.tbadventure.com/play in internet explorer (i dont think this happens in the latest internet explorer though)

If you login as a guest, all will be ok. Say you logout (press refresh) note that the login screen appears straight away without the intro. In addition, when you press login it no longer works! Whats more, open up a new internet explorer window and - the same thing happens!!

Is there any way around this. maybe non cacheing? any help much appreciated.

Refresh In Internet Explorer
Site (SWF): http://blog.lutonfm.co.uk/nowplaying/nowplaying.swf

I'm building a basic 'now playing' flash applet for a radio sration website. The now playing info is uploaded via FTP by the software in the studio as a text file, and I have got the Flash to look at the text file every ten seconds and update a dynamic text field which displays the artist and song title.

When displayed as an embedded object in HTML, it works perfectly in Firefox but fails to refresh in Internet Explorer, until the entire page is refreshed.

Is there something wrong with the Flash file, or is there any way I can update using Javascript or something similar?

Internet Explorer Links

I recently made a new flash site, http://www.towwc.com and all of the links work fine in Firefox, but no links work in Internet Explorer. I am positive I have all of the most recent software as far as OS, flash, and browser versions. What is making the links work incorrectly?
