Hi Daniel,
Yes we have encountered this quite a lot as we used to link to quite a few
docs from a flash movie from CDROMs. Never really had a fix for it except to
create an HTML document that automatically redirected to the DOC from
within. Problem was, you couldnt send a query string to the HTML via
flash so you had to create one HTML file per DOC file. Not nice but works
for IE6.
From memory, IE6 nicely handles Word within the new browser window opened
but FF/Mozilla will open a new (blank) window and then spawn Word to handle
the DOC file via a dialog box. A bit messy especially if the user is running
FF tabbed browsing.
We have since tried to avoid opening DOCs within Flash ever since.

Hello,
I have the following code in an onRelease event of a button:
getURL("systems_breakdown_notes.doc","_blank");
In FireFox the document opens fine, but in IE it gives a page error:
"Action canceled : Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page
you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable. ..."
If I focus into the address bar and hit enter (not changing anything) it
will open the document. There is a comment in livedocs about this
problem in IE 6, but no solutions. We can't upgrade IE, or distribute
FireFox (devs have it for testing, but not the rest of employees).
Anyone encountered this before, and have a solution?
Thanks
