for some reason calls to getURL("javascript:functionName();"); do not
seem to be working in Flash Player 8 on Internet Explorer... a test page
here demonstrates this:
http://www.leathes.co.uk/geturl
The above works fine in Opera and Firefox but does nothing in IE (6.0 on
Win2k sp4, flash player 8,0,22,0 installed).
This is a major problem with Flash Player 8 as far as I'm concerned - I
produce a lot of e-learning which must use getURL(javascript) calls to
communicate with the SCORM-compliant LMS's. If any of our clients
upgrade to flash 8, their courses will stop tracking to the LMS!
Everything works fine if I downgrade to flash player 7.
On a similar note, if I run the above page off my local filesystem using
firefox, clicking the button that calls getURL throws up a security
error saying that the swf is attempting to communicate with an
internet-enabled location! In what way does HTML on my filesystem
constitute an internet-enabled location???
Even more annoyingly, no error/security dialog is thrown in IE so it
looks like it's not working at all.
