Hi,

I've just had a look at Adobe's fix for the IE active
X changes...the one that changes the publish settings
in flash and uses AC_RunActiveContent.js
(http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=7c29e252)

I know that the fix isn't needed for firefox et al,
but I'm not about to go back to the old detecting
browsers stuff - I figured the fix would place the
flash movie in the page whichever browser is used (it
says as much...)

So - I just grabbed a movie and tried the fix - it
works fine in that it displays the movie in IE & FF.
However, in firefox, any javascript to flash
communication is now dead.

Can someone have a quick go and see if I'm just being
dumb??

Bascially I just have a movie, and a link in the html
that calls a js function:

function foo(){
        var movie = window.document.movie_name;
        movie.LoadMovie(1, "loadMe.swf");
}

So that should load 'loadMe.swf' into the movie. But
instead I get the error:
movie.LoadMovie is not a function

It works fine before applying the active X fix, but
once the fix is applied - it's dead. In IE it works
both before and after.
Same for any other flash methods (GetVariable,
SetVariable etc.)

Is there something I'm missing??

Thanks.

C.
