Flash :: Load Movie Not Working In Internet Explorer

Pop-up In Internet Explorer Not Working/Please Help
First off I just want to say this seems like a great community and I have already learned from and been impressed by the amount of knowledgeble people here.

I am relatively new to all this so bare with me. What I have done is created a basic flash movie/site which you can see here; http://www.jlauch.com/novapower of course it is not finished yet, but this is the basic layout.

What I am trying to do is create a button that when clicked on pops up into a html window which has information. I followed the excellent tutorial here at kirupa.com to create a button that pops up via javascript, and all seems well when I click on my links in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer the pop-ups don't seem to work.

I am not running a pop-up blocker and I thought maybe the internet explorer security settings were interferring, but that doesn't seem the case. I am trying to use IE 6.2.2900.2180, if that helps.

If anyone can give me a hint about this it would really help me out, because now I am a standstill.

I hate to be one of those people whose first post is a request for help, but I look forward to contributing to the site in the future.

On a smaller note, I am trying to center the flash movie in a borderless pop-up window, but this doesn't seem to work, any other way to do this?

Thanks again

Switch (num) Not Working In Internet Explorer
Hi,

I'm using Flash MX and I want to randomly pick a spot in my movie to start playing from. There are 20 different spots I want to randomly select from. I used the following code

Math.getRandom = function(lowNumber,highNumber){
var thisNumber = highNumber - lowNumber;
var randomUnrounded = Math.random() * thisNumber;
var randomNumber = Math.round(randomUnrounded);
randomNumber += lowNumber;
return randomNumber;
}
num = Math.getRandom(1, 1000);
switch (num % 20 ) {
case 0:
gotoAndPlay("nat1");
break;
case 1:
gotoAndPlay("nat2");
break;
case 2:
gotoAndPlay("nat3");
break;

It goes down to case 19, then ends with

default:
;;
}

The code works find in FireFox but when I test it in Internet Explorer it always starts at the beginning. I tried to publish it in Flash 5 and 6.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

GetURL Not Working In Internet Explorer
In Firefox and Safari the getURL actionscript command seems to be working fine, but as we all know there are many people still using IE, and that's where it needs to work too.

Ah yes-- this is only a problem when I have "_self" or "_parent" chosen as the target for the new page. When I have "_blank" specified everything seems to work fine even in IE.

Link to my IE nonworking page:
http://www.ant-hive.com/dirtypictures

It's supposed to lead to this page:
http://www.ant-hive.com/dirtypicture...ypictures.html
(as you can see by clicking on the Store button on that page, getURL works when a new, blank window is targeted).

As you can tell, I'm among the greenest of the green. But I need for this stuff to work. Any help would be appreciated.

_parent Is Not Working In Internet Explorer
Now Internet explorer is not opening URL from buttons who have "_parent" inside them.

How can I fix this bug? dont tell me I have to generete several new windows just because Internet Explorer say so. IE Sux!

Keys Arent Working In Internet Explorer
I went through a tutorial on controlling a movie clip in the flash player. Works fine until I publish the movie thenthe keys arent being recognized. Is there a publisher setting I can change? Or is there some way to make IE open a player window to play the clip?

I am unable to search the forums so if this answer is posted feel free to just reply with the link thanks.

Heres the tutorial...
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ma...-857/index.php

SendAndLoad() Stopped Working Internet Explorer
Has anyone else suddenly had their sendAndLoad() function stop working in Internet Explorer (V6.0.2)? The following code exists in my site and worked about 3 days ago. I have made no changes but now the sendAndLoad function wont work in Internet Explorer but it will still work fine in Firefox (I have checked to make sure neither is cached).

Add.onPress = function()
{
if(name_field.text == "")
{
Alert.show("Please complete all required (*) fields","Incomplete Fields",Alert.OK,_root);
return;
}

if(comment_field.text == "")

Alert.show("Please complete all required (*) fields","Incomplete Fields",Alert.OK,_root);
return;
}

var s:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var l:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

l.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
if(success)
{
_root.ph.attachMovie("lyrics","lyr1",100);

_parent.deletePopUp();

}
else
{

//THIS IS THE WARNING I GET THEREFORE success IS FALSE
Alert.show("Oops it seems there was a problem adding your entry to the guestbook, please contact me if this problem persists","Failed to add to Guestbook",Alert.OK,_root);

Flash Working In Firefox, Not Internet Explorer
http://www.geocities.com/makkennzee/GL-RR.html

theres the URL, it should appear with a GTA splash, which it does in Firefox (for me) but not in IE! It's just a white box in the middle.

If anyone could help me (whether it be an HTML or Flash problem) the help would be SO much appreciated!

I'm pretty amateur in both (only 16 :p) so any assistance would be excellent.

[CS3] AS 2.0 Percent Jpeg Loader Working Only In Internet Explorer
Hey there community, i've been building this simple slideshow for a friend that sequentially loads jpegs from a folder when clicking next/previous. Thing is that JPEG preloading (0-100% text) is working only in Internet Explorer and because it doesn't in other browsers, -"Nan" (Not a number) output in my percent_loaded.text- it spoils the hole code (image appears completely off-centre).Stage preloading (in frame one) works OK in all browsers with the same code!!

my script setup (when clicking or entering a category) frames 39-52:

39. photo_holder.loadMovie(FilePath+foldername+'/'+foldername+'_'+photonumber+'.jpg');

40. stop();
//mask_mc._yscale = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
var loadedData:Number = photo_holder.getBytesLoaded();
var allData:Number = photo_holder.getBytesTotal();
var percent:Number = Math.round(loadedData / allData * 100);
percent_loaded.text = "_" + ((isNaN(percent) || allData < 2) ? "0" : percent) + "%";
// mask_mc._yscale = percent;
if (loadedData >= allData) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay(42);
}
};

//have also tried this in frame 40 with same results (b):

photoLoaded = _root.photo_holder.getBytesLoaded(); //have tried without _root. as well
photoTotal = _root.photo_holder.getBytesTotal(); //have tried without _root. as well
percentage = Math.floor(photoLoaded/photoTotal*100);
percent_loaded.text = "_" + percentage + " %";
if (percentage >= 100) {
gotoAndPlay(42);
}

//have also tried this in frame 40 with same results (c):

loading = Math.round(photo_holder.getBytesLoaded());
total = Math.round(photo_holder.getBytesTotal());
percent = Math.round(loading/total*100);
percent_loaded.text = "_"+percent+" %";
if (percent >= 100) {
this.gotoAndPlay(42);

41. gotoAndPlay(40);

42-44. setProperty("photo_holder", _alpha, "0"); //goes up to "100" for fade in
in frame 42 also
photo_holder._x = ((1020-(photo_holder._width))/2);
photo_holder._y = ((720-(photo_holder._height))/2);
// to center each photo on the stage

45. stop ();

46-51 //fade out like in 42-44

52. gotoAndPlay(39);

in next previous buttons i have a code that changes photonumber var +-1 accordingly and then gotoAndPlay(46)

what exactly goes wrong? is it firefox that gives a form of "percent" that flash does not understand> NaN?

The whole code is written in AS 2.0 and needs to be kept like this, unfortunately i am not familiar with AS 3.0 yet!!

Thank you all in advance

Two Javascript (called From Within Flash) Not Working In Internet Explorer.
Hi,

I have several sites that use both the two pieces of code below, and I have just realized that none of my sites work in Internet explorer! Grrrrr. Can anyone offer me any ideas as to why this might be... I am 95% cure that i checked my sites in a bunch of browsers, IE being amongst the top 3 most imprtant. I can't beleive I would have forgotten to check their functionality which leads me to think that they *used* to work...but now don't. Hmmm.... Of cousre maybe they never worked....

THE FOLLOWING IS A TYPE OF JAVASCRIPT THAT DOESN'T NEED ANY CODE IN THE ACTUAL HTML DOCUMENT. IT OPENS A POPUP WINDOW, BUT DOESNT WORK IN IE. I GOT THIS CODE FROM HERE ( http://flash-db.com/PopUp/JavaScriptPopUp.php? ) , AND IT SAYS IT SHOUDL WORK IN IE, BUT IT DOESN'T:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.monkeylongboards.com/popups/ml0001.html','newWin','width=365,height=580,left=0 ,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status =No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();void(0);");
}

THE FOLLOWING IS A FUNCTION THAT IS CALLED BY A BUTTON PRESS LATER IN MY MOVIE, WHICH PASSES THE RELEVANT PARAMETERS TO TEH FUNCTION. IT REQUIRES THE CODE POSTED JUST BELOW THE ACTIONASCRIPT IN THE HEAD OF MY HTML PAGE:

function AddToCart(iNumber, iName, amt, iShip, iShip2) {
var tempString:String = "javascript:openNewWindow('https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1";
tempString += "&business=mick@hisdomain.com";
tempString += "&item_name="+iName.toString();
tempString += "&item_number="+iNumber.toString();
tempString += "&amount="+amt.toString();
tempString += "&handling_cart=5.00";
tempString += "&shipping="+iShip.toString();
tempString += "&shipping2="+iShip2.toString();
tempString += "&return=http://www.paypal.com&cancel_return=http://www.paypal.com','paypal','width=600, height=400,scrollbars,location,resizable,status')" ;
trace(tempString);
getUrl(tempString);
}

CODE REQUIRED FOR HEAD SECTION OF HTML PAGE:

<script language="JavaScript"> function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }</script>

The following sites use these and work fine in Firefox, Opera & Safari, but fail in IE:

1. http://www.DELETED.com (uses both, on add-to-cart button & magnify button)

2. http://www.DELETED.com (uses both, on add-to-cart button & on button to show larger image of boards)

Please help me to fix this if you can.......

thanks :)

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 XML Photo Gallery Not Working In Internet Explorer
Greetings,

Used the kirupa Flash XML Gallery to implement this online magazine. { www.theblacklistmag.com } Works fine in Safari, Mozilla and IE for Mac. On PC's I've heard and seen that it does work in IE? Just a white box where the swf should load. Is this just an issue of not having the current flash player?

Scene Won't Load In Internet Explorer, Only In The .swf
Hey everyone:

I'm in a bit of a bind here. My site performs drastically different when it is run in Test Movie (.swf) and when it is run through Internet Explorer.

It has 3 scenes in the following order and no externally loaded .swfs:

Scene 2 (Preloader)
Scene 3 (Intro)
Scene 1 (Content - I originally began with this one but later added the Preloader & Intro)

When I test the movie from Flash CS3 or run the exported .swf, it runs through with no problems. However, as soon as I export it and run it in Internet explorer through .html file, it will only load the preloader, which then transitions to the intro, and then I get a white screen for Scene 3. I cannot get the main content scene to play at all.

It seems the problem starts with the code to embed the .swf into the .html page. If I run the .swf through internet explorer, it is fine, but then it expands to fill the whole page. I think it wouldn't be wise to run just the .swf online.

I would greatly appreciate any help in this manner!

Thank you,
Adam

Internet Explorer Referesh (F5) Makes Buttons Stop Working
Hi All,

I've seen other people have the same issue with this on here but haven't found any solutions. Does anyone know why when an IE user refreshes the page that some of the buttons will cancel out.

it works fine the first time, then the "down" and "reset" (middle inner arrows) buttons will stop functioning. The other buttons still function correctly.

Thanks in advance

[F8] Odd Flash Load Behavior In Internet Explorer
Have any of you seen this behavior? In firefox it works fine but in Internet explorer the flash images does not load until you move the mouse over the flash. I tested it with and without the javascript wrapped around. It is most likely related to my actionscript.

here is the website

Jpegs Wont Load With Internet Explorer
Hi, I am currently programing my portfolio site and I have tried a couple different ways of loading Jpegs from an images folder into an empty movie clip. Both worked sucessfully everywhere but PCs, which I hear are kind of important. First I tried the basic LoadMovie ("jpegmane.jpg", movieclip_mc) and that was unsuccessful. Next I tried the following code:

ink_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
ink_mc.setMask("mask_mc");

var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();

listener.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
trace("LOAD COMPLETE");
target._parent.load_text._alpha = 0;
//target._parent.play();
}

listener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, bL:Number, bT:Number) {
trace("PROGRESS: " + (bL / bT) * 100);
}

loader.addListener(listener);

print_btns.print1.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadClip("images/print_philroy.jpg", content_mc);
_root.ink_mc._alpha = 0;
_root.gotoAndStop("print");
}

I haven't had any problems like this before with PCs. Any suggestions out there?

THanks in advance.

Problem Getting Flash/Director Animation To Load In Internet Explorer [renamed]
I am SUPER new, so please don't laugh at me...

I have created a VERY simple animation in MX2004 and placed it in an HTML file using Dreamweaver. When I visit it using Mozilla Firefox, it works fine. However, when I visit the site using Internet Explorer, it shows the Macromedia Shockwave "loadin bar looking" screen and never loads and doesn't display the animation. Please help me, I'm dumb! Thanks!

Movie Display In Internet Explorer
Hi Everyone!

I'm new to this forum, but have a little experience with Flash. I'm building a site, mixing flash with css and html on a webpage (obviously). When I test the pages in Internet Explorer, the display jumps around quite a bit when I navigate between web pages (looks fine when clicking through frames in the movies). This is the first time I've ever seen this (in the few times I've built flash-heavy sites) and this display issue doesn't happen in Firefox, Opera or even old Netscape. Unfortunately - most of the world is using IE, so I need a little help.

I thought perhaps the Flash Satay solution might be the answer, but I'm not a handy programmer so before I go mucking around with it, I thought I'd get some thoughts from other flash users...

Here's the link: mustardseedwoodworking.com/testing The pages in question (and the only ones that are working, really) are the home page, the about page, and then galleries one and two.

(Oh finally, I'm viewing these pages both locally, on my computer and online after being uploaded. I have cable internet access. I realize Gallery 2 loads a bit more slowly than Gallery 1, but the primary reason I'm using flash to display the tables is because I want large, high rez photos. )

Thanks in advance!

Trouble Loading Flash Movie Using Internet Explorer
hi all,

I am amateur web designer. I am designing a company website for a small engineering firm. Well! I finally finished it and uploaded it. But when I tried to view it in Internet Explorer the Flash (Navigation Bar) movie would not load. Instead, in its place a white box appeared. But then when I pressed refresh, the movie loaded. When I loaded another part of the website the same thing happened.

SO, basically the browser has a mind of its own, sometimes it loads the flash movie sometimes it doesnt.

I even set the baseURL so it knows where to find the flash movie. So then why am I having these problems?

Can someone please, please, please, please, please, please help me.
I would be very grateful if someone could shed some light on this situation.

Thanks

Problems With Multiple Movie Clips And Internet Explorer
Hi,

I'm working on quite a complex app in flash which requires the concurrent loading of multiple (up to 30 or 40) movie clips at the same time.  I've come across an interesting problem with Internet Explorer.  When the flash movie is served from a web server (in this case IIS) to Internet Explorer, a number of movie clips simply do not load on the screen.  However, if you then refresh the page once or twice, all the clips miraculously load.

This *does not happen in Mozilla*; it works perfectly, first time, off the same server.  It also does not happen when I drag the flash movie on to the internet explorer browser from my hard drive, only when it is served from a web server!

This has led me to wonder if it is a problem with the amount of connections to the net internet explorer/flash can have open at any one time, and that maybe flash is timing out some of the movie clips.  This would make sense as it would explain why it does work when loading from hard drive and why it works after several refreshes (as the browser would have cached several of the files, requiring less connections to the internet).

With that in mind, I have researched upping the number of connectione IE can make to the internet, and found an MS knowledge base article detailing how to up the number of possible connections by editing the registry.  However, even having upped it to 20 and having restarted my computer, it appears to make no difference whatsoever!

I am now at a loss and am appealling to anyone on this forum who may have an idea for help.

Regards,
Ben

Why Does This Simple Movie Run So Slow In Internet Explorer But Fine In Firefox
This script is used to fade a movie clips opacity to 200 (an extra 100 to add to the pause between fading in and out) and then fade it back to 0. I used intervals to create the timing. I dont know of a better way to do it. Anyway if you check out the file under hosting at thetechtree.com you will see it loads slow in IE but fine in firefox. Anyone know why?

ActionScript Code:
var aList:Array = new Array();
aList[0] = "galaxy";
aList[1] = "KOP";
aList[2] = "ramsey";
aList[3] = "sentinel";
var xPos:Number = 336;
var yPos:Number = 265;
//
var speed:Number = 1;
var onOff:Boolean = false;
function fadeIn(targ)
{
if (_root[targ]._alpha < 200)
{
_root[targ]._alpha += 1;
} else
{
intFadeOut = setInterval(fadeOut, speed, targ);
clearInterval(intFadeIn);
}
}
//
function fadeOut(targ)
{
if (_root[targ]._alpha > 0)
{
_root[targ]._alpha -= 1;
} else
{
clearInterval(intFadeOut);
onOff = false;
}
}
//
function screen(myNumber)
{
var targ:String = aList[myNumber];
if (_root[targ]._alpha < 100 && onOff == false)
{
intFadeIn = setInterval(fadeIn, speed, targ);
onOff = true;
}
}
//

[F8] Instability Of Internet Explorer When Flash Movie Loads Files Externally
Hello,

I ran into a weird problem, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem.

Here is the scenario: You have a web page, in pure html or flash, and there is a link on this page to another page that pops up in a new window, contains a Flash movie and loads some files externally. For example, the first page can be a gallery of thumbnails of some images, and the second page can be a Flash movie that displays a slideshow of the images that you selected on the first page.

Here is the problem I'm having: If you are using Internet Explorer (v6 or v7, does not matter), and if you close the second page before the external files load into the Flash movie, and if you repeat that a number of times, Internet Explorer starts not loading the second page at all. It just keeps loading forever and ever. Furthermore, the first page won't refresh, either. You have to close the windows and start all over again to reset Internet Explorer. I'm having this problem only with Internet Explorer. Firefox and Safari work fine.

Example: If you want to see an example case, here is a commercial website where you can experiment yourself. Go to:
http://www.kohls.com/products/produc...17952 5087468
(If that link does not work anymore, just chose any women's wear at www.kohls.com)
click the "Zoom Feature" button.
A second window will popup and a flash movie will do some external file loading. The movie will say "Please wait" while loading the external files. If your connection is very fast and the first file loads before you even see the "Please wait", try zooming into the picture and forcing the Flash movie to load the bigger image. When you see the "Please wait" message, close the window immediately. Do this several times, and after a while you will see that the second page will start not working. It will load and load and load...

I don't know if it matters, but here are some details about hat I am doing: In my case I'm using a MovieClipLoader to load the external files. I'm loading several external files, and I'm doing so sequentially. I am constrained to open the second page in a new window, because my first page is also in flash, and I don't want the first movie to reset. I use getURL with javascript to open, resize, and center the popup window. And I pass some variables to the second movie. Even if the first page is in html, and I don't pass any variables, I run into the same problem.

This is really annoying, because it limits the usage of the external file loading capabilities of Flash.

Did anybody else run into this problem? This looks like an Explorer problem more than a Flash problem, but is there a way to avoid it? Something you can do in the ActionScript?

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
