Re: [Flashcoders] IE8 - Strange display behaviour [SOLVED]

2010-04-08 Thread Alain Rousseau

I finally solved this one,

For those interested in the solution here it is.

It was merely a case of browser cache not acting as expected. So, I 
called the swf file with a date variable to prevent caching :


   script type=text/javascript
  var flashvars = {};
 var params = {};
 var attributes = {};
 swfobject.embedSWF(mySwfApp.swf?t= + new Date().getTime(),
   mySwfApp, 550, 400, 9.0.0, false, flashvars, params,
   attributes);
   /script


And all is fine now.

Hi all,

I have been experiencing some strange display behaviours with IE8 lately.

I did a module for Joomla that displays a Flash based menu. In IE8 it 
loads fine the first time, but as soon as I change page, the menu 
doesn't show anymore.


If you have the IE Developper Toolbar, you'll see in the Scripts 
Console the traces from Flash (gotta love 
ExternalInterface.call(console.log, trace from flash) !! )


So with that I know all the data is here, I know wich menu item is 
supposed to be visible and yet, nothing shows. Could it be the CSS ? 
or the Flash Player in IE8 ? (got the latest version). I'm using 
SWFObject 2.2 for embedding. Tested on WinXP.


Safari, Firefox and Opera all display the menu.

Hope someone can help me figure this out ! thks !

[Flashcoders] IE8 - Strange display behaviour
