Hello all,

I’ve been sending this email around to a bunch of Flash gurus, but to no avail. I \<3 copy & paste, so here it is! If you can help, it would be very much appreciate.

[INDENT] Hello,

I’m Mark Stuckert. I know you probably get a lot of help requests for your Flashlightbox, and unfortunately, this is another one of them. So, if you’re busy or don’t care to read, I will not be at all insulted! Regardless, I’ll show you what I have thus far.

[/INDENT] [SIZE=2]On the Flash button:[/SIZE]  
[INDENT] [SIZE=1]on(release) {  
getURL(“javascript:flashLightbox(‘artwork/person.jpg’,‘My Caption’);”);  
}[/SIZE]  
[/INDENT] [SIZE=2]And I’ve attached a screenshot of the folder setup (inside the artwork folder in “person.jpg”). All this and … nothing. It tweaks out a little bit when you click the button in Flash, but in IE nothing, and in Firefox it gives me some lip about running an unsafe operation. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Oh, that and (I’m not sure if you can do this) but I tried an # include for the lightbox.js file. [/SIZE][SIZE=2]So yes, I’m just wondering where I’m going wrong. I’ve gotten help from a lot of people, but it doesn’t seem to work. If you could lend me a hand, I would be _extremely_ grateful.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Thanks & Sincerely,[/SIZE]

[COLOR=Black]So that’s my beef. I’ve attached an image of my folder setup-thing, if that helps at all.

Thx!
