_root.onLoad not working in Firefox, suggestions?

programming flash
1

Hey, all. I have a very, very simple thing in Flash that just will NOT work in Firefox and it’s driving me nuts. On the very first frame of the root, I have the following code:


this.onLoad = function() {
	_root.createTextField("test1_txt", 10000, 0, 0, 300, 100);
	test1_txt.text = "WORK!!!";
}

Simple, right? Yet, it won’t work on Firefox.

I don’t know what the problem is. Thing is, I’ve used “this.onLoad” many-a-times in Flash and got it to work in Firefox.

It works in IE, by the way.

Is there something I’m doing terribly wrong here? Might there be a setting that I need to get the above code to work?

I wrote a bit of a hack to get around the problem I’m having:


this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (_root.getBytesTotal() == _root.getBytesLoaded()) {
		foo();
	}
}

function foo() {
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
 	_root.createTextField("test1_txt", 10000, 0, 0, 300, 100);
 	test1_txt.text = "WORK!!!";
}

This works all right but again, it’s a hack, and I’d rather avoid using a hack like this. :frowning:

Thanks in advance.
