Professional :: SWF Works In Firefox Not In IE
Sep 30, 2010
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...

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 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]

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:
try {
ExternalInterface.addCallback("test", testing);
trace("added callback");
[Code]....
I am running the latest Firefox and FlashPlayer 10.

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.

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.
the getURL statement
Code:
getURL("javascript:document.getElementById('NextButton').click();");
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

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.

I'm using Flash CS3, exporting for flash player 9 and having troubles with the code below only in Firefox 3 (flash player 9 or 10).In IE 6 & 7, all works OK.The code below should show small thumbnails of images. It does work on everything I tested except firefox 3. What is weird is that if I empty my cache and load the page online, it does not show any thumbnails or sometimes only one. However, if i reload the page without emptying my cache, it will then work perfectly.Here is my code :
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.translucidedesign.com");

I am building a video player web-app that uses flash for playback and jquery/javascript for UI. By design of the person who wrote the flash component I need to use setVariable to communicate between the javascript and the flash player. I've read all over the internet that a lot of people have had problems gettin setVariable to work in FireFox. I designed my app in firefox because i wanted to use firebug to help me in development. Now that the whole thing has been built, i find that setVariable is not working in IE. The error i get is:Object doesn't support property or method 'SetVariable';Here's a bit of the pertinent code:I construct my html through javascript, so this is how I construct the player:
var player =
'<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16

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();

My full screen flash site works oerfectly on Mac's (I have a mac). But on PC IE and Firefox the full screen flash site is cut off 1/4 of the way down the page (see screen shots in zip or test if you are on PC). live site [URL] The site uses a swf object (files included in the zip). I got this from a template on flashDen. my problem is that I only have my mac and can't test on PC IE / firefox. Not that I would know where to start. I think that the problem might be the swf object from [URL] but not sure? I need to sure my site to apply for jobs. But recruiters use PC and it is very embarrassing that they can only see 1/4 of the screen.

migrating some of my code snippets over from AS2.I tried reproducing one of my most used bit of code - the dynamic border - in AS3, but I have run into a small problem.
PHP Code:
var sw:int = stage.stageWidth -1;
var sh:int = stage.stageHeight -1;[code].....
So this code works great in Firefox but fails miserably in IE6, Flash Player 9. So my question is does anybody have a workaround that works on IE6, Player 9?

Changed AS3 defualt linkage to merged into code, and now my flash file will not load into firefox. It works fine in Chrome, but IE8 and firefox site at frame 1 of my movie, and no code is executed. Works perfectly in chrome. What do I do?the reason i changed to merged into code is because i made an imbeded preloader, and using preloader method as custom preloader loop and setting default linkage to Runtime Shared Library (RSL) borks the file.

Here's the site: [URL] From feedback I've gotten, it appears that under certain circumstances the first image in a set of images does not load properly, although I haven't seen it myself. I'm told this happens only in Firefox. And I believe only Flash player 8. Works fine with FF and Flash player 9, or IE with 8 or 9 I believe.

Bug in Firefox if wmode is set to opaque or transparent.mouseUp is not triggered if mouseUp occurs offstage.I have slider code that should stopDrag on mouseUp, but if mouseUp occurs off stage, the slider stays connected to mouse on re-entry, even though the mouse is now up.Bug does not occur in other browsers, and does not occur if wmode is null.I have tried every variable and every fix I can think of, and can't resolve the issue.I have multiple versions now in AS2 and AS3 and I've followed every suggestion I've found online, including html/flash javascript. Nothing works yet.

I have created a swf movie file that containes the movie playback panel & a f4v video & I have uploaded them to a subfolder on my server.The whole site has a secure connection (https), but the page that i will try to embed the movie will have a regualr connection (http).
The problem arises when i do embed this flash video in a HTML file. in IE & Chrome it works and looks great, But in firefox it doesnt. If i clear my cache (as if i were a new visitor to the site) and enter the page, the movie isn't displayed at all...is shows "done" in the browser loading bar.
After about a minute or so (which i assume is the amount of time it takes to load the full movie), i hit refresh, and the movie appears fully loaded.
The movie is currently embeded in my homepage (via Iframe - for site protocol reasons), and if it wont load immidiatly from the first time a user enters the site, many users will miss the video (and get a blank white box in the middle of the site).[URL]
