Yeah we had this issue for a while now - not just FP8 does it. It doesn't
work on my machine but will on a random machine I use. We use it a lot for
CDROM learning materials we create.
We used to do some JavaScript in the getURL before FP8 came out but it
throws a security exception now so we are looking for another solution as
well.
I think it stopped woking after a Windows update, but cant nail it down.
Pre-FP8 fix: getURL("javascript:window.open('docname.doc'); void(0)");

Subject: [Flashcoders] Weird getURL behavior
I'm going crazy with this. Hopefully, I'm just missing something stupid.
Weird getURL behavior in my Flash 8 player. Is there any reason why a Flash
file here:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/myFlashFile.swf
Would not be able to link to this:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc
????
Same domain, same folder! Ah, this is so freaking aggravating. It was
working fine just a week ago. We did recently move the flash file and the
linked-to doc to a new server... is there something about a URL that doesn't
have www.mypage.com in it? I didn't think so... so anyway I am just using:
getURL("EARS_L3_Interview.doc", "_blank");
or, I also tried the absolute path:
getURL("http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc";,
"_blank");
(note, don't try that paths above, it's on an intranet site and will fail
for you)
it does pop up a new window, but the window says,
"Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable."
HOWEVER, the file IS there and available: if I put the path to the browser
address bar directly, it works fine!!! What's up with that?
Why would getURL only fail in Flash? My worst fear is there is some
security thing on the server the admins changed which is blocking my access
from Flash. Ideas?
