FSCommand In Netscape 6
I heard that FSCommand in Netscape 6 doesn't work. So how can I send variable from Flash to JavaScript?!
Please help
Thank you
P.S. I tried with getURL("javascript:myfunc(myVariable)") but it doesn't work
Fscommand And Netscape
I have been pounding my head against the wall for a couple hours now. I am trying to utilize the fscommand to close the popup window for my flash app. I have created a "Close" button on the app and I have placed a fscommand behind it. I have published the flash app for fscommand use so I have the Javascript in my html page as needed. The Javascript code for closing the window is as follows:
if (command == "close") {
window.close(this);
}
This works perfectly using IE. This "close" button on the flash app does not work using Netscape 4.75 or Opera 5. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or something I am forgetting?
Thank you,
Ken
Netscape And The FSCommand
In IE6 and Netscape 4.75 this command from Flash MX will work:
fscommand("messagebox", "Goodbye " + strName + ", and thanks for visiting our website!");
In Netscape 7 it will not work. I have not tested it in Netscape 6 though. If you take the concatenation part out of the string it will work in Netscape 7. Also you cannot have any line breaks (/n) in the command when using it with Netscape 7.
Why is this and how can I work around it?
Thanks.

FSCommand And Netscape 6.2
Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the heck this Javascript error means, encountered in Netscape 6.2 (the Javascript code was generated from Flash 6 using the FSCommand Template in the Publishing Options)... The idea behind the code is that when a user clicks on a button in the flash movie, an mini-browser window pops up with a message in it. It seems to work fine in Internet Explorer 6.
Here's the Javascript error that Netscape produces (I've substituted the actual domain name with mydomain.com):
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.open]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://mydomain.com/chat/WindsorChat.php :: popup_DoFSCommand :: line 383" data: no]
Source File: http://mydomain.com/chat/WindsorChat.php
Line: 383
Here's the Flash Javascript Code that I'm using (line 383 has a comment just before it - in the last 'if' block):

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 . . .
FSCommand Disfunctional With Netscape 7
I'm coding a form in flash, validating with flash, and passing an FSCommand to the users browser to display errors in a Javascript alert messagebox. The way in which I'm using the FSCommand to do this is the exact same way the Actionscript Dictionary shows in Usage 2 (calling a message box).
The following line of code will NOT work in Netscape 7; however, it WILL work in any IE and oddly enough, Netscape 4.75:
fscommand("messagebox", "Thanks for visiting our site " + strName + ".
Please come back soon!");
There are two reasons it will not work in Netscape 7. The first is that you cannot concatenate and the second is that you cannot pass it the "
" command which is for inserting a line break in a Javascript alert box. An fscommand, being used with Netscape 7, without these two characteristics will execute just fine. The problem is that it's very limited; you can only pass a string. Boooooo!
Does anyone know of a way in which I can get around this? It's very vital to the web application that the FSCommand is able to execute a Javascript alert box to show the user their errors. Thanks.

How Do You Get Pdf Fscommand Script Into Fscommand
I'm trying to link to a pdf file. I have viewed others messages about creating a .dat file, but it mentions about making sure this is in the fscommand folder. Please can someone detail how this complete process should be done?
If this wont work on a Mac, then that leaves me with the GetUrl command only. As I want this to be a CD Rom not web page I need to link to the html pages offline (if this is my only option) and I have a projector file, where should these htm files be?
Thank you.

Plz Help Me With That F*?ing Netscape Bug
Hi yall!
I do have a problem with Netscape (4.5 and newer):
When I send a fscommand that is caught by by the xxx_DoFsCommand-routine of the .htm that hosts the flash, Netscape will do anything I want it to do (via script) but relocate the .htm to another file.
Don`t get me wrong: I donīt want it to open a new browser window that loads the intended file; I want Netscape to open up the new file in the same window the swf (and the script) is in.
Buuuuuuuuutttttttt: That stupid ***** (xcuse my french) won`t do it.
So, is there anybody out there who has a workaround for that bug? Please tell me if so.
thanxx

Besides, your site`s great.

So I downloaded Netscape 6, tried to view my site and a pop up window appeared to download flash 6 for netscape.
I didn't have any problems viewing my site....
Just to let you know if it can be useful.

Possible Netscape Bug?
Hi all, anyone know of a bug with MX and Netscape that might cause images that are loaded dynamically on a rollover to not show up when being viewed with netscape???
To check for yourself go to http://mechromation.com and check the portfolio section. here is the code i am using for this... maybe theres a problem with it?
loadVariables("gallery.txt", "_root");
function preset(whichOne) {
curPreset = whichOne;
_root.pic.loadMovie(_root["image"+whichOne]);
textHolder.curCatagory = _root["catagory"+whichOne];
textHolder.curTitle = _root["title"+whichOne];
textHolder.curInfo = _root["info"+whichOne];
}
on the buttons this is the code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.gotoAndStop(6);
_root.preset(20);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.gotoAndStop(5);
}
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('gallery files/aelogo.htm','newWin','width=600,height=550,toolbar =0,location=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,resizable=1,fu llscreen=0'); NewWindow.focus();void(0);");
}
anyone see a problem with this? Please let me know...

Mx And Netscape
I made a movie in mx. It displays in IE, but not in Netscape. I had other movies I made work in Netscape, but they were created in Flash 5. So, I saved the MX file as a Flash 5 file and published from there. It displayed in both browsers. One other piece of information. I started from scratch with a new MX file, put some text in it (no animation), published it, and I could view in both browsers. Any help on this?

What The F... Is Up With Netscape 7+?
I've got a flash movie that sits in a layer on my web page. Initially the layer is hidden. When you click the login button, it executes the following code...
Code:
function showLoginBox(){
if (ns4){
document.loginLayer.visibility = 'visible';
window.document.loginbox.TGotoLabel("_level0/","open");
window.document.loginbox.Play();
}
else {
document.getElementById('loginLayer').style.visibility = 'visible';
if (ie4){
window.document.getElementById('loginbox').TGotoLabel("_level0/","open");
window.document.getElementById('loginbox').Play();
}
if (ns6){
window.document.loginbox.TGotoLabel("_level0/","open");
window.document.loginbox.Play();
}
}
}
In IE and NS4, it works fine. Well, NS4 isn't fine, but NS7 is worse. I've gone through all the docs at macromedia about communicating between flash and javascript and I'm doing it the way that they say to do it. In NS4, it will show my container layer and go to the correct frame. But, it will not play. In NS7, it will show the layer and that's it. It won't go to any frame or seem to even load the movie. Can anyone give any ideas on what I could try? Thanks.
Netscape == ?
whats the nn equiv to this javascript statement ??? (that works GREAT in IE)
window.document.moviename.SetVariable('play', 'true');
I know this doesnt work in nn4, what about 7 or whatever version they're on ?
Netscape And IE
When viewed in IE, the frames are smooth and rather quick.
When viewed in Netrape, it is quite a bit slower, but still smooth. The timing with the music and everything are spot on, just slower?
I'm at 30fps. Cache is cleared.
What gives?

hello
i am using Flash MS 2004 and am new to the wonderful world of flash...
i just finished a flash intro for my website..
and included a skip intro button which uses a loadURL actionscript when clicked on
everything works fine and dandy in IE
but in Netscape for some reason when i click skip intro it goes to the next page and loads it all squished up in the top of the browser, i cant seem to explain it and i have tired to export the swf file into different formats but nothing seems to work (mainly cause i cant seem to figure out why its happening)
also.. netscape wont play the audio in the intro (but only on some computers, and with the same version of Netscape.. weird eh?)
any feedback regarding these issues would be very helpful and much appreciated
thank you

Netscape & Co. Really Sux
This is really a disapointment.
I have this site where I need to make some user checking, and in a particular section of the site, I need to pass a parameter to the Flash movie, from a PHP script just like this:
print "<param name="movie" value="members.swf?Response=granted">";
Well the situation is simple: either Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox ignores the parameter passed to the movie, while IE accepts it ok. I am not sure if the problem is with the browsers itself or with Macromedia plugin for them.
Now I have this site on line and need to find a detour to this awfull gap, just because there are a lot of people that uses this f***** browsers.
Well, point for Microsoft. This kind of thing just shows why MS is really the biggest one in the world, and why people have so much resistence to join to their competitors.
Humm.... forget the cheap philosophy!
If anyone knows the solution for this problem I erally would apreciate if it could be shared.
Thanks!
Netscape
I have a dynamic, 3-D flash chart. Every time a user changes a value in one of four text boxes the chart changes to reflect the new values.
The page has four default values in the text boxes when the page loads. The problem is in Netscape the chart won't conform to the original 4 values when the page loads. Once a user types in a new value or hits the 'refresh' button the chart works fine and it also works perfectly in IE from the get go.
Why won't the page recognize the variables onLoad in Netscape? Is it a swonking problem?
Thanks,
Amber
Netscape And IE
hello.
I am having trouble with my site. It works fine in IE, but Netscape doesn't show the new files I uploaded to my server and constantly says "tranferring data" in the bottom of the browser.
Does anyone know what's wrong? I use MX, and am cetain I updated to Flash Play V7 on Netscape, but IE might still have V6. Could that be the problem?
I don't think so because all I did was add an extra library-linkable MC to the site, and it reads the other 10+ linked MC's fine.
can somebody check to see if they work fine in both on their computer?

Does anyone have a clue? The URL of my website is http://uofmpt.memphis.edu/minghui

IE / Netscape Compatibiblity?
Hey. I just finished work on a full-feature site made completely in flash. My problem regards the way it functions in IE vs. Netscape. It seems to run fine in IE, but in Netscape, none of the buttons work correctly (i.e. instead of perfoming the correct action, they just cause the entire movie to re-start itself when clicked). I have only tested the site out on a mac, so I don't know if the pc versions will be any better/worse. The site is quite heavily actionscripted, but Im not sure if this has anything to do with it. Does anybody have any information regarding how netscape & IE interpret flash actionscripting? is there a particular line of code that tends to be buggy in one or the other? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Netscape Issues?
Hello --
thanks for your time.
I created a simple little flash object that has two buttons to go back and forth between two scenes. Each scene has a dynamic text box that loads variables from an external .txt file.
Here's the url: http://www.es.com
Problem is, I think that there are some real netscape issues right now. The text doesn't display properly, and the buttons don't work. If you want to download the .fla and the .txt to check them out, here's the link: http://www.cinegraff.com/infoTabs/
thanks a lot --

Borders In Netscape
Does anyone know how to get rid of annoying borders around flash movies in Netscape.
I've set margins to 0, and made the movie dimensions 100% but I still get an ugly border in Netscape. I then tried adding marginwidth=0 and marginheight=0 and that got rid of the top and left border but it's still there at the bottom and right.
To demonstrate the problem if you open http://www.casalia.co.uk in Netscape and click the availability button the calendar pop-up has a border which ends up cropping the movie and making the calendar unusable.
Needless to say, this all works fine in IE.
Thanks in advance.
---asfunction & Netscape---
I've been using "asfunction" to call functions from text in a dynamically loaded xml document. However, it seems that there is a problem with the "asfunction" working in Netscape (i'm using 4.72). For example, if I try to load a movie like this:
function loadClip(url) {
loadMovie (url, "_level2");
}
and try to call that function from a text link like this:
<a href="asfunction: loadClip, myMovie.swf">Click here.</a>
it works fine in IE, but in Netscape, the movie does not load at all.
I know it's not a problem with the function call because I created a dynamic text field to display the "url" parameter and it displays fine.
I thought it was a problem with the fact that the parameter is not a string. But when I added quotes to it, or tried the String() function, it still didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
