ActionScript 2.0 :: GetURL Works On Firefox (mac And Pc), Not On Other Mac Browsers
Jul 13, 2011
I have flash files on a page which load and play a sound file, then advance via getURL javascript to the next page when the sound file has finished playing (i.e. the movie is non-interactive, maybe this is part of the problem).
On firefox - both PC and Mac - it works just fine. On Mac Safari and Chrome at least is doesn't seem to do anything, but the same javascript works fine when I issue it to the browser manually.
1. In the html I have used OBJECT with nested EMBED. With all the browsers that I tested, this worked fine, as did having only the EMBED code
2. I have used the allowScriptAccess parameter correctly in both cases (always), and the swf is hosted on the same subdomain as the survey engine too...
3. I'll check now if a simple alert() is displayed
I inherited a flash website about a year ago.. not sure what version it was originally done in. I've made changes on the model last year using CS3 Flash Action script 2, but don't remember the flash version when published. The audio in question is the music that plays in the background when you get on the website:
[URL]
When I changed the image of the model this last week using CS4, I published it as Flash8 actionscript 2... now, the music plays on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox, but not on the Windows versions of IE or Firefox..
this is the code called sound control
onClipEvent(load) { _root.soundstatus="on"; _root.mySound = new Sound(_level0);
[Code]....
then there's the stop() that's used when the music is toggled off..
I've tried updating the flash player in Windows to the latest release, and I even tried republishing as flash 10, just not sure where to troubleshoot this..
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.
I have been using CS3, and publishing v8 AS2 files using swfobject for years with no dramas. I am certainly no expert, but have created at least 10 sites this way.My personal site for some bizarre reason has stopped working in all browsers (and I am sure the file hasn't changed). My SWF works in Flash Player perfectly but comes up blank in any browser... yet other SWFs work fine.

I have tried republishing, reloading site, different hosts, recreating the file... I am absolutely stumped! :-) I just cannot get it to work.
Are there known issues regarding the getURL command in Firefox 3.5?I made a very simple flash movie with some getURL commands and they work in IE7 and IE8 but not in Firefox 3.5.[code]I just tested in Opera (9.24) and it doesn't work either...
I have an _Xslide gallery that I need to make each photo link to an absolute URL. Works fine on IE but FireFox dosnt function at all. I can get it to work if I "_blank" but then it is applied to both browsers. The requirement is that the gallery function in the same window for all browsers.This swf is hosted in an "included" html file...where the swf does not live in the same directory...although I have tried that also but to no avail.
Ive also tried "_top", "_parent", "_self" heres the AS... one_mc.onRelease=function(){
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 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.
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?
I have an interesting (and rather embarrasing) error occuring only in Firefox on http://www.northwestu.edu/report/06/. If you watch the presentation in Explorer, this is the proper chain of events:[URL]..I oversee this site and unfortunately we did not find this bug until after linking up this content to our home page.
A simple flash video doesn't appear in IE. I've looked at answers to the same problem by NineBerry, however, I've tried those suggestions without luck.[code]I didn't include the file mulholland_intro_slideshow.fla as I doesn't seem necessary.I'm also aware that when encoding with Flash the object can only be made to played locally or via the network. I encoded locally for testing but it also plays across the network. Is that even relevant? I don't know.
I have an activex display that is custom-built and displays video from an IP camera. However it doesnt show on all browsers. I was then adviced to use flash/actionscript to stream a jpeg that the camera drops on a remote server with ip address (just example) 80.247.23.12/container/live.jpg.
However the file name is constant. how can i use flash to stream this live jpeg and make it appear like a streaming movie. I don't know how to go about this at all.
Is there a work around to the getURL Firefox issue? I am having trouble getting Firefox to open my file from my exe when FF is set to my default browser. If FF is already open, the getURL functions fine. If FF is closed, I have to click on my button twice in order to open the file (ie, click once opens a blank window, click again and the file opens) I have FF 2.0.0.1, Flash MX 2004 Prof. I have tried setting an interval to have the getURL fire again but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have 2 'getURL' functions on one keyframe, one a text (converted) button, the other an image. They are both next to one-another however only the text (converted) one works. The top bit of code is the text (converted) button:
bt_url.onRelease = function (){ getURL("[URL]","_blank");}; bt_ethicaltrading = function (){ getURL("[URL]","_blank"); };
The code for each is exactly the same, I have checked instance names, tried different url's and even created an invisible button for the image based one. I have also tried putting the buttons on the same layer.
I finished my website and uploaded to internet. And when I showed friends that use IE7, Chrome or any other browser besides Firefox it failed to work. The SWF gets stuck at the preloader at a certain percentage but the animation of the preloader still runs. Here is the link (try to watch from different browsers): [URL]
Trying to recode map program to utilise modest map rather than original hand made map routines. Finished up yesterday and had squashed bugs pretty much(annoying flicker issue but that didn't appear on another web browser I figure it's flash/browser related issue). Then I realised I need to try this in IE as well. And it doesn't work. Map loads up so modest map code is working. What is NOT working is everything else. It's supposed to track locations and draw arrows to their positions.
It doesn't go to where it's supposed to initially. No arrows are drawn. No control buttons from HTML side work. Nothing. Zip. I have suspicion it could be the ExternalInterface which works differently on firefox and IE. Could that be reason? If so how does one go detecting what browser I am using and how does one need to take that into account? Or is there something else that's different between IE and firefox I need to take into account?
IE itself only gives rather mystified error message. Message: Unspecified error(my translation since original is in Finnish) Line: 49 Column: 5 Code 0: [URL] Funny thing is both php file and output html file is 37 lines long...
I have a flash gallery in side my movie I have a next button and a prev button that works just fine. The issue I am having is when you click next and then go back the getURL function no longer works. It might be easier to view the issue. here is the link [URL]
I've started my first flash movie and it works in IE but not in Firefox. Can anyone help me out? Here is the code that I am using (I pulled the syntax from a web site and modified it):
in IE this just pretends its loading forever also, i got the width and the height to adjust to the window size and its working great (in firefox anyways) but thats not what im really after, i want the height to be 100% but i want the width to adjust based on either the height of the window or the height of the object. anyone know a trick for that? i cant seem to find a way to do it in SWFobject

I made a scale animation that works on IE 7 but it does notwork on Firefox 3.The button toggles between scaling up and down. In Firefox, it starts the loop for scaling up but it isquickly interrupted and return to its original scale.What should I change in the below code to make it alsofunctional on Firefox 3 ?
<head> <script language="javascript"> var obj = null;
I am trying to execute an AS3 function from my javascript using the ExternalInterface. Seems to work fine in IE, but firefox is always returning javascript error method undefined.
I have been Googling this for ages and eliminated the following possibilities:
1) Some people say you need to have an embed tag inside your object tag, so added one - no luck.
2) Many people say that you need to make sure that your flash is loaded before calling the javascript. Well my call is after pressing a link on the page. I am always using the flash application first and only pressing the link at the end.
3) Then I thought that maybe it is a security problem so added the following:

My swf is on a secure server (https / Apache). It makes calls to a php script in order to connect to a database. This works fine in firefox, but for some reason doesn't work in Internet Explorer (have tried using version 6 & 7).
Now I've read Gary Rogers' page about going to Internet Options> Advanced> Disable the option "save encrypted pages to server". The problem is that this option wasn't checked when testing the games in IE, meaning that it was not the cause of the problem, however, most other people said this fixed their issue.

Would anyone know why the photo stack flash gallery won't work in Firefox? IE works fine. I'm fairly sure its just a bit of syntax i'm missing, or a compatibility issue. I am using a .swf file which imports images in using an xm l file and then displays them as a stack of photos which can then be rotated and looked through.
My portfolio is a combination of elements from Kirupa's gallery and my own.The portfolio works fine but the loader just doesn't work correctly. It can be tested at URL...In Firefox the loadbar flashes once(which it shouldn't do) and the dynamic text box displays a NaN% and then 100% so something isn't being defined correctly. In IE 6.5 however there is no NaN% displayed, the preload bar flashes once and then works fine. I don't know why there would be a difference between browsers.Please take a look at the code below and let me know why the files being loaded into the picture container aren't correctly preloading. It's been a week of working on this endless portfolio and I just want it to be over.[code]
I have a movie that retrieves an RSS feed from this URL: [URL]
The XML document can be successfully parsed in Flash when viewed in Firefox, but it doesn't work in IE. Here is a file that demonstrate this: [URL]
However, if I open the RSS feed and save a copy of it and post it to my web server, it does work in IE: [URL]
Here's the version of the RSS that is working when saved: [URL]
I don't believe that there is any difference in the two XML documents. Cross domain policy files are in place on both servers - and it doesn't appear to be a cross-domain issue since it works in Firefox.
The code in the flash files are the same except for the URL of the XML they are retrieving. Here's the code for the one that isn't working:
var xmlFeed:XML = new XML(); xmlFeed.ignoreWhite = true; xmlFeed.load("http://www.clipsyndicate.com/rss/feed/5572?wpid=2892"); xmlFeed.onLoad = function(success) { txtTest.text=xmlFeed; }
I added a UIScrollBar component to a dynamic text box. You can see it at following address: [URL]. The first time it loads up in IE the scroll bar does not work, when you hit refresh the scroll bar works. When loaded on Firefox it does not work at all, even when refreshed. Here's a sample of how it is structured: The Dynamic text box is under two movie clips. I want to keep it as a dynamic text box because the content is pulled from an XML file found online. As a test I created a SWF with a dynamic text box and added the UIScrollBar on it, this one however is not under any movie clips and it works fine in both IE and Firefox.
