The html _img_ tags “supported” by Flash are buggy at best. Some code would help to diagnose the problem but honestly it could just be something that’s not going to work.

i’ve got a dynamic text field in a movie clip…

the mc actions are  
onclipeven (load){  
loadVariables(“mypage.php?blahblah”,this,“GET”)  
}

it’s my understanding that there’s two ways of doing this… i’ve implemented both… and they both do the same thing to me… is it safe to say that this is a bug?

i’ve got a related question… i have a javascript that uses a function open\_win(url)… and i use \<a href="javascript:open\_win(blahblah…  
that anchor link is displayed in my dynamic text box… the code works on the external page… but it doesn’t work in flash… am i missing something??

If i were you i would break out the LoadVars()🙂

And for the Javascript, I’m not sure, I don’t use sketchy web technologies:D

post the code for your movie
