ActionScript 2.0 :: GetURL Function Not Working In Safari / Firefox On Mac
Apr 28, 2010
I have a file upload application I built that uses FLASH as a means to transfer file to/from users directories on a server. Once the file transfer has completed I fire a function that includes a call to a javascript function within my page that executes an AJAX refresh of one of the "div's" on my page.
ActionScript Code:
// COMPLETE FUNCTION
fileRefListener.onComplete = function (fileRef:FileReference):Void {
status_txt.text +="<font size="11" color="#E6E6E6"><b>" + fileRef.name + " uploaded.</b></font>
";
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
filesCompleted++;
[Code] .....
And my JS is:
Code:
function handOff() {
new Ajax.Updater('manage_user_info', '/fileTransfer/manage_user.php?client=' + $('users_to_manage').getValue(), { method: 'get' });
}
This works flawlessly in IE6/IE7/IE8/FF3.6/Opera/Chrome/Safari on Windows Machines but for users on MAC's there seems to be an issue. Any particular reason this wouldn't be working in a MAC environment?

[URL]
The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.

Ive also tried "_top", "_parent", "_self"

my site is comprised of several images loaded dynamically and added to the display list. i declare a bunch of loaders on the first frame, and add a preloader progress listener to the largest image to have one preloader for all the assets. I then added a COMPLETE listener to the same image, and add that image, along with all the others in the onComplete function. i have two issue. the preloader doesnt work in Safari. but works fine in Firefox? and i'm totally stumped on what it could be? another compatibility issue that seems to be arising is that one of the galleries of my site which corresponds to the "drawn" link. also does not seem to be working in Safari, but works in Firefox. its a fairly simple xml based image gallery, which loads thumbs on to the stage, and then loads a larger version of each, when the corresponding thumbnail is clicked. the other galleries of the site work fine in safari, and are basically the same code wise.heres my code for the loading and preloader in the first frame
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
stop();

We use a custom Air Install badge to install / launch an Air application directly from the website simillar to
TweetDeck
This normally handles the install of air if the user doesn't have it already installed.
However, after doing some cross broswer testing, it appears that when a user, (using OSX Lion and Safari or Firefox) tries to click yes when prompted to download the required Air they are unable to click either of the yes or no buttons.
I initially thought that it may have had something to do with the positioning so ensured that the z-index in the css was appropriately set but to no avail.
I beleive it may have something to do with the installer itself rather than my implementation as the same thing appears to happen on TweetDeck too.

I'm encountering a problem with the getURL function. When I have a button with the following AS
Code:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
}
and test it within Firefox (0.9.2) then it loads within the same tab which isn't what I want obviously. In IE it loads a new window without problems. This used to work but I after reinstalling winXP with SP2 it doesn't work anymore

I recently formatted my disk and installed WindowsVista Ultimate. Now, I find that this simple piece of code is not working. But earlier when I was using Windows XP, this code would open a new browser window (in firefox) and automatically prompt me to log into Gmail account, and after I log into gmail I will have this 'userEmail' successfully inserted in the "To:" field (inside gmail)
Code:
var userEmail="myemail@gmail.com"
getURL("mailto:"+userEmail);
Can't figure out why this is not working in my new OS.

I can't get my getURL to work. It works when I use "_blank" but not when I use "_self" or "_parent" or "_top" or leave it empty. I've got it right off the main timeline. I've also tried putting it within an onRelease function.
So, this doesn't work:
Code:
getURL("images/aboutus.jpg", "_self");
But this does:
Code:
getURL("images/aboutus.jpg", "_blank");

I'm modifying an mp3 player by flabell, and try to get some buttons to work. However, I can't seem to get the getURL to work, even though it works in other parts of the script. This is my code:
mc.rate1.onRelease = function() {
trace(this.ID);
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The trace goes through fine. Here is the code that works:
Code:
private function downloadRelease(mc : MovieClip) : Void {
var title : String = mc._name;
var index : Number = Number(title.substring(title.lastIndexOf("n")+1,title.length));
getURL(songsSource[index], Main.getInstance().mcAlbums.linksTarget);
}
I'm on a mac with firefox.

I am trying to use the getURL function to open a new window with a variable URL, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want it to. Here is the code i am using:
on (release) {
getURL("popup.htm?/projects/"+_root.foldername+"/"+_root.projname+"_1highres.jpg", "_blank")
}
The problem appears to be the question mark. If I remove the question mark it works fine.. but I need to use the question mark because the rest of the info is just information I am having popup.htm interpret

I'm working on a masthead for a site, which uses the simple getURL command to load a page on the same site, code is:
on (release) {
getURL("link.html", "_top");
}
Now, this works fine in all browser with JS enabled, but when JS is disabled in Chrome and Safari it does nothing. Strangely enough, if the target is "_blank" it works.I've tried all 4 different targets, as well as using a variable to hold the link.

I have a banner container with buttons that rotates multiple banners. Each banner has specific buttons for each with text that changes color when the banner is active.[code]...
The problem: The text color changes in IE, but not in Firefox and Safari. And the weird thing is I tested in other computers and some will work in all browsers and some only works in IE. Everything works ok when tested locally.

when i view my flash file in firefox 3.5.5, it compresses my flash movie smaller and quality looks pretty bad. In Safari, it is fine. I tried publishing as "exact pixels" instead of match movie and set scale at exact fit.
update: now firefox is cropping my flash movie....but safari looks fine

I have a flash gallery I created using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3. It plays perfectly in FireFox, but in IE and Safari it just shows me a blank space on the page where the gallery should be. As a test I uninstalled Flash Player, and FireFox and Safari showed me the message that a newer version of Flash was needed along with a link to get it, but IE showed nothing. Now that Flash is re-installed, only FireFox actually loads/plays the gallery. With IE it doesn' tmatter if I use the 32-bit or 64-bit, or if compatibility mode is on or off. I tried republishing with Flash 9 set instead of Flash 10, but that made no difference. It fails with the HTML file generated out of Flash, as well as the page I created in Dreamweaver and used the Insert Media command to insert the .swf:

I load images from an XML file and sometimes everything would load up just fine, but there are times when flash would stop loading in the middle of my my list...
[URL]
On firefox, all items usually would load up all the time but there are occassions where it would only load 3 out of 8 or some anywhere before it's suppose to finish. If you keep hitting refresh on the link i posted, you'll see. its even worse on safari since it would seldom load the whole thing... never had a problem with IE though.
here is the code im working on
Code:
var productHolder:MovieClip = productHolder_mc;
var bannerHolder:MovieClip = bannerHolder_mc;
var paginationHolder:MovieClip = paginationHolder_mc;
var whatIsaLoading:String = "";

On this page there is a login form at the bottom left.
1) Type some text in the username field.
2) Drag-Select this text (from right to left) so that it is highlighted - but DO NOT release the mouse over the swf - keep dragging off of the swf (to the left of the text field).
3) Now move your mouse across the swf and back out to the left again...and you will see that the swf thinks you have never released the mouse.
It seems obvious that a swf running in Firefox or Safari is not detecting "onRelease" events outside of the swf (while IE Does this just fine).My only thought is to capture onRelease events from js and pass into the swf...but jeez - what a pain for something so simple....for something that should just work.

I'm creating an Entry Page slideshow here with Flash Cs3 and AS2: [URL] I'd like to be able to click on the whole slideshow (or the "Enter Site" text) to go to another page on the site, which I'm calling "[URL]." 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 banner in actionscript 2, that posts to a URL, and gets a response back. The http header from that is then used to figure out if the posting was successful. This works like a charm i IE, but in Firefox and Safari, the Flash player shomehow interprets the HTTP header as a 0, no matter what the browser actually gets. My guess is that it's what's described here [URL]...
