I have a problem with my swf freezing after navigating to it using the back button in Firefox 7.0.1 (mac) My swf has a set of buttons that link other non flash pages in the site.f you use the back button to navigate back to the page containing the SWF, the swf freezes. As far as I can tell it works on all other browsers and works on firefox on the PC.
you can see it in action here
I'm sure I'll receive some sort of hate for posting this in the wrong area, but I'm really desperate for help and don't feel like searching further for the "correct forum." Anyway, I created a swf for the "education" page for a liquor store, it navigates through wine, beer, and liquor. All the links work well, however after you go to (for example) the liquor page, when you hit the "back button" on the browser, going back to the page with my swf file, the movie freezes after the first animation. I don't understand it, it only happens with firefox, which to my knowledge is one of the more progressive browsers, so what gives?! It even works perfectly on IE and my android phone, so I'm at a complete loss, as I'm more a designer than programmer. Please take a look and offer any obvious advice. I would be willing to make the video in AS3 if that is the only option, I just have no clue how to implement AS3... so confusing. The link to the swf in use is: http://www.whitehorsewine.com/education.php Each book having a button that triggers a movieclip with AS2. The movieclips all have stop(); at the end of them. The rest of the coding is in the timeline on a seperate layer:

Firefox 3.6.10
I install Flash 10 from the Adobe website for Firefox and everything appears to install just fine. In fact, Flash 10 works fine. Until........ I reboot. After reboot Firefox goes back to Flash 9.0.45.0 (9.0 r45). Which is evident by looking at the addons in Firefox.
I've tried completely uninstalling all versions of flash and even deleting registry entries for Flash 9 that I could find, and then re-installing. I've also tried a stand-alone installer. It always installs fine, but then always reverts back to 9 after reboot.
basically this code will work like a browser back button its very simple but "could end up very long" basically it will act "similiar to the browser back button"
Code:
on (release) {
if(page1 = _currentframe){
_root.gotoAndStop("quiz");
} else if (page0 = _currentframe){
[code]....
it works when the (page1 = _currentframe){ is rotated with the first if statement...because for somereason it seems to not recognise the "else if's"
I have a picture upload function in my flash and when I upload a picture I lose focus on the flash. This results in that all my listeners disappears. I cant click buttons, use dragbars etc. This only happens in FF. Im using flash player 10 and Snow Leopard. ive tried to get the focus back by sending a call to javascript:

I have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.

That's my code.. how come it works in Firefox but not IE?
I have a webapp embedding some flash content in an iframe. The flash part is requesting access to the webcam. On firefox/mac os, user's can't click the allow button. This only happens when the page embedding the swf file is loaded in the iframe, it works fine when laded separately. Has anyone else faced a similar problem? Do you know any workarounds?
EDIT: For future reference: we were positioning some stuff via JS and we had positions using "half pixels" (e.g. 20.5px). Once we fixed that everything worked fine.
works perfect on my macbook pro (safari, firefox, and opera) but when I view the site on Vmare Fusion Windows XP and use IE and FireFox the pages don't load... I don't know what to make of this. Has anyone hear or seen anything like this happen before? BTW the website was created in Adobe Flash CS4/ AS 3.0 and published using Flash Player 10.

However, within firefox (7.0.1), once the back button is pressed the button does nothing. Works great with every other browser. It basically only works once, until I reload the page.
I have a very strange problem. I recently finished a website,[URL]However if you try to enter the first button (in firefox) it enters the new swf and then freezes... HOWEVER. When I try this in Internet Explorer it works just fine. Is it actionscript which acts different in browsers, do I have to type differently or add exceptions?Through the .js file I found out there is a opera and IE exception..

I've read various tutorials all day and tried many things, but couldn't seem to apply any "on release" action to the "Enter Site" text that would work. I even created an invisible button (putting a keyframe on just the HIT state and deleting it from the UP state), named the instance "invbutton3", and then typed in this action on the first frame and inserted a keyframe at the end of the show:

i have a question concerning the 3d carousel :
is it possible to make a 'back button' appear somewhere on the scene after we click on an icon of the carousel ?
i know that clicking on the icon itself sends back to the spinning carousel but it may not seem obvious to people not used to flash the web in general.
I am building a simple image galery. I have all my images side to side on a pictures_mc, a forward and backward button.The buttons work with an as3 that moves the mc accordinglyforward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){limits()new Tween (pictures_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,pictures_mc.x, pictures_mc.x - 500, 1.5, true)})I want the backward button to desapear when it's the first picture and the forward when it's the last. So I tried if and else:
function limits(){
if(pictures_mc.x >= 400){

View 1 RepliesI've made a nav bar using buttons, and have them working just fine for Up, Over, Down, and Hit. (okay, so hit isn't a state, but I'll count it is as the fourth one)Problem is, once clicked on and produces a change in the flash, I want the button to not return to the Up state, but to visually be different so you can tell you are in that section.First problem is I can't for the life of me think of what that state is called. (Makes it hard to search for, and my poor little brain is fried right now.)Second problem is, can I force a button to not go back to up state? (either the over or down state would work fine).Or do I have to detect the click and then make a call to swap out the button file for the relevant section?
View 1 RepliesI'm italian and I'm creating a CD to presentate a research to my teachers..this is probably a dumb question, but I need to make a 'back' button, similar to a back button on a browser.

I need to make a back button that will take the user back to the last "slide" they were on.I went through the effort of creating a back button that I only realized didn't work after I was finished. I had it set up to just go to the previous slide and totally ignored the fact that there are several branching scenarios.

View 1 RepliesI've created a very simple website that uses frames as pages - nothing more. It has 6 frames and six buttons in every one of them for navigation. Now I want to integrate a BACK button - A simple button that will stand on every frame, and that will react on (release) in the way that will take us back to the last frame visited. Example: I start on frame 1. I press button 5 to go to the frame 5. Then, when I hit the back button (the integrated one - not browsers') I want to get back to the frame 1.
