Sorry if you guys worked it out.. I'm on the digest ;) Ok,
The issue was a combination of problems. 1. I couldn't get fscommand working on IE because I was using flashObject to write my tag during window.onload (bug in IE?) So I defaulted to getURL. 2. Using getURL(javascript:) to change the hash tag breaks IE after 3 changes. 3. Being so pigheaded to believe that IE would be so stupid to not include fscommand support for ActiveX controls if they are written onload. So I changed the page to write the flashObject inline and voila, fscommand works and changing the hash via fscommand doesn't break IE. -----Original Message----- From: Drew Foehn Sent: Monday, 2006 May 01 10:35 AM To: '[email protected]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Deep Linking and the Back button. IE6 problem Hi Kevin, After wrestling with this issue for awhile and writing a solution myself, I decided to try your more elegant implementation and found it very useful, I really like the 'onHistoryChange event' notification system. I tied it to the JavaScript Integration Kit to notify my flash app. I have an issue with IE that is very perplexing and it occurs with my solution and yours. After making more than 2 calls to update the location.hash object, IE6 freezes and stops loading the page. I think it's the same issue that is documented here http://www.thescripts.com/forum/threadnav157294-1-10.html and I don't see a solution to it. Have you had this issue?

To: Flashcoders mailing list <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I have made a script that intends to solve this very issue. It is a single javascript file (no extra server calls to grab a file to fill the iframe, it's all done in javascript), with a method (addHistory) that adds a history entry, and a delegation pattern for history change notification. You can find it here: http://www.unfocus.com/projects/HistoryKeeper/ http://www.unfocus.com/projects/source/ The history script only takes care of the history portion, you will have to take care of the javascript/flash communication using one of the many techniques available (my communication framework, or FlashJS, or ExternalInterface), and you will need to set up a small script that will update the flash movie when the state changes. The state will also need to be maintained by your custom Flash scripting (however it is that you build your app, I recommend MVC, and making a VC out of the history part of the app). I am working on a History Bridge (JS side is done) to take or this, but it isn't ready for prime time yet.
