I have a button in my swf that should open a php page. It works fine in Firefox, but goes nowhere in IE. Any ideas? on (release) { getURL("/page.php?var=bla", "_self"); } Code (markup):
Does it show the yellow exclamation mark in the bottom left corner in IE? Is the flash object in a form? Are you using flash 8 or 9?
I know this is a long way of doing it, but I found it works the best for me with actionScript 3... var urlVar:String = "/page.php?var=bla"; yourButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT , buttonOut); function buttonOut(event:MouseEvent):void { var gotoURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest( urlVar ); navigateToURL( gotoURL, "_blank"); }
