Hi. I created a banner ad in flash. I followed the instructions to make a
button in the tutorial. For one layer I created an invisible button, etc.
Then on another layer I added a keyframe at the very beginning and entered this
actionscript:

inv_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.myurl.com", "_top");
};

The layer with the button I named "inv_btn" The ad works fine to me and when
clicked goes to My Url. However, the website I submitted it to told me that
people with macs weren't able to click it and it wasn't working for mac users.

Any ideas on this?

thx!

why is there a _top in your action ? "_top" loads the linked document in the topmost
frame so you should not be using it unless the movie run within frames and you air
to target one.

this makes no sens, sorry. I'm not working on the project so my understating
is not as clear as yours - party directly involved.
You should not be using _top in the first place if you target frames.
They should be using unique frame names and ask you to utilize these names
instead. That is the way to go.
Using all these reserved words _frame _top etc... is very risky. Each browser
react differently to it content, especially Mac browsers which are like the
ticking time bombs.
give the frame a name "MacFramesSuck" and use it from flash using the window
parameter:

getURL("page.html", "MacFramesSuck");

What is the URL with this problematic content ?

They told me to do that for some reason. Here is what they said after I
submitted it to them with a "_blank" call:

Closer, but still a problem - the ads are opening up inside the ad window,
instead of the whole browser - so all you get is the top corner of their
site, instead of the whole thing. They need to have the target frame for the
link be a target="_top" call. Let's try one more time...

So, I changed it to "_top" as they said and then they replied with this:

Well, it seems like there's still a problem with their flash ads - it
seems that the link doesn't work for everybody - when someone with a Mac
tries to click on the ad, nothing happens. I have no idea why this is
happening, so for now we've rolled back to the gif ads that they had before.


Thanks for any help you can give!
