Links are failing in Firefox on a PC (macs work, IE works on pc and mac, safari works) http://www.paracletepress.com/index.html It works if I view the swfs directly without embed eg: http://site.paracletepress.com/sections/tabbedAd.swf Please help! Here's what I'm doing with the link on (release) { //Goto Webpage Behavior getURL("http://www.paracletepress.com/baptism.html"); //End Behavior } >> Stay informed about: getURL fails in Firefox on PC only

why are you using goto webpage behavior, I would take that out and the end behavior, see what happens.

These are just comments and they have absolutely no effect on action script. It's not even an action, just a side comment. MY guess is the problem is within the fo.addParam("wmode","transparent"); WMODE is known to cause all problems. I suggest use the page background to match it with the layout rather then turning it off. -- Best Regards Urami -- "Never play Leap-Frog with a Unicorn." <urami> If you want to mail me - DO NOT LAUGH AT MY ADDRESS </urami> >> Stay informed about: getURL fails in Firefox on PC only

took out the wmodes, it did not fix the links (i put them back in now). are others having the same problem where IE works but dfirefox doesn't- but only on PCs? >> Stay informed about: getURL fails in Firefox on PC only

We currently have the same problem. It seems to be a crossdomain issue specific to Firefox on Windows. If you serve your swf from the same domain as your site, notice it will work again. (Your site is www. but the swf is hosted at site.) This is becoming a huge problem for my company as all static assets are required to come from a different sub-domain as they are edge cached via Alamai. Anyone else having this problems? Any potential solutions? >> Stay informed about: getURL fails in Firefox on PC only

Try setting param "allowScriptAccess" to "always", seems to fix the issue. >> Stay informed about: getURL fails in Firefox on PC only

This was useful. I had a similar problem ? and allowScriptAccess worked for me. It has to appear twice in the HTML code as noted * once in the param and once in the embed. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve rsion=5,0,0,0" width="750" height="52"> <param name=movie value="test.swf"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> * <param name="menu" value="false"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="LOOP" value="false"> <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit"> <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#000033"> <embed src="test.swf" width="750" height="52" loop="false" allowScriptAccess="always" * menu="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Vers ion=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="exactfit" bgcolor="#000033"> </embed></object> CLiFF >> Stay informed about: getURL fails in Firefox on PC only**
