Hopefully a no-brainer:
I am currently developing a banner that contains 4 buttons. Each of these link to different URLs within the website where the banner appears.
The problem:
SWF functions beautifully on its own (i.e., animations play, rollovers work). However, when uploaded to the server and dropped into the HTML with the proper plug-ins, the links suddenly cease to function. Flash still plays beautifully - it’s just the links that seem to disappear. The one browser where the links seem to work ‘as is’ is Firefox on PC.
I am using the basic but usually effective:
on (release) { getURL(“http://www.site.com”); }
Sorta-solution:
Added “_blank” to the end of the script and this worked in all tested browsers… however, the client wants the URL to open in the same window (they have asked not to provide the actual link). Anyone have a concrete idea as to why and how to fix this?
I’ve hunted for this issue and found lots of “keep trying” solutions in other forums… please help
