i rarely come accorss a problem i dont understand how to fix ...

well nows one of those times..

i have a flv within drupal (which were put there by adding a div in the php file and not the little cheap swf uploading tool crap) and sometimes the buttons within the flv work and somtimes they dont!?


it makes no sense

is it some sort of glitch or what..

im using this actionscript like i always have

on (release) {
	getURL("http://www.myurl.com/test/experience", "_self");
}

and only the links in the flv that work all the time are the ones that open up in a seperate window for example -

on (release) {
	getURL("http://www.myurl.com/test/experience", "_blank");
}

someone help me and i will love you forever


P.S

the flv file is using Player 9 and A.S 2.0


cheers

I wonder why?

[TheBBoyDisorder]

... wow

[jesusfreak101]

are all of the buttons the same? ex - movie clips, regular buttons

[TheBBoyDisorder]

jesus freak thanks alot for caring enough to help figure out my problem!

but i just figured it out ... in my HTML code within the EMBED i realized i had to add the folloing code - " allowScriptAccess="always" " and it started recognizing my links with the "_self" string.

b'blessed

in php, isnt it:

PHP Code:

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] 


so maybe try:

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    getURL("http://www.myurl.com/test/experience", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
} 


or am i in the complete wrong direction

This.

Not that I know anything about ActionScript, but it's more like JavaScript than PHP.

[TheBBoyDisorder]

the code needed to be added to the html file not the actionscript itself

i was WRONG it didnt fix it it only seemed liek it fixed it then i went to another INTERNET EXPLORER on a differnt computer and it didnt work... !!! jesusfreak or mgpwr help me! =[[[[[[[[ should i try that php code in the flash?

only the buttons with _blank work and not _self ... =[

Have you tried not defining a target at all in which case the default would be the same as _self?

Assuming that you are not using (i)frames have you tried _parent and _top as the target? If you're not using frames (and there's very little reason to use them) then _self, _parent and _top all do the same thing.

another thing to check is if the browser settings disables pop-ups....my browser has a small tiny symbol at the bottom right hand whenever it blocks a pop-up and sometimes i miss that. so check that also
