Well, I've trimmed down the javascript code to:
function sendToFlash(txt) {
var swf = document.getElementById("NewFlashpreviewer");
swf.sendTextToFlash(txt);
}
My embed code looks like this:
var attributes = { id:"NewFlashpreviewer", name:"NewFlashpreviewer" };
swfobject.embedSWF("Designer2.swf", "NewFlashpreviewer", "850", "350",
"9.0.0" , "/swfobject/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params,
attributes);
My HTML code looks like this:
<div id="NewFlashpreviewer">stuff here</div>
Still Fire Fox does not work, but IE works (all versions I can find to
test).
Although I'm not a JS or Flash expert, I have spent hours on end
trying to understand why I'm having issues - only with FF. Seems to
me all my bases are covered.
Beer offer still stands.
Thanks for any help.
