[Flashcoders] Re: IE6 problem with SWFAddress?

2007-01-29 Thread jason van cleave
I have ran into this nightmare and am still not sure what causes it. Just as I 
thought I had it beat it I would do a as2js call and the swf would disappear in 
IE. Something else I have seen is Firefox freeze up the swf. If I had to 
retroubleshoot it again I would look for this:

-Are you using a getURL(javascript:jsFunction()) type call?

I have had your problem mixing these in with ExternalInterface. I would first 
try switching getURL javascript calls to ExternalInterface.

Another solution I have heard of is using setTimeout on the Javascript side to 
delay opening the window for a second

I ended up hacking up SwfAddress and moving it off ExternalInterface to the 
SwfObject/Javascript/ASGateway here:

This has been my most solid in my testing (and lets SwfAdress work with Flash 7)

Good luck.

Yes, mixing getURL and ExternalInterface causes problems with IE6 (and 7
to a lesser extent) when using SWFAddress.  He talks about it on his
site and there are also discussions on his forum, as well.  I didn't see
them at first, either.  It took me awhile to figure out why the site was
behaving oddly because the class that I had that used getURL (an
omniture tracking class) wasn't making getURL calls on my server but was
on the client's server.  I didn't put the two together until I spent an
afternoon chatting with Rostislov (the author of SWFAddress) and he
asked me casually about whether I was using getURL somewhere else.

The solution is to use ExternalInterface instead of getURL(), which
actually performs better anyway.
