Help needed ! (fast) flash not loading vars in ie6 (offering reward if wanted)

1

Hi guys,

I did the mistake of programing new website and not checking enough in ie6 during dev time.

The thing is I have to show it to my client today and I’m pretty ■■■■ sure he’s going to use ie6.

Go look at :

http://www.akagallery.com/test/gallery.php?page=drawings

using ie6 and firefox after to see how it should correctly display.

look at the middle column, the flash image loader receives the xml name from the GET

<?php
$page = $_GET["page"];


?>

then later I use it to add parameter after the .swf?gallery=$page:

	<?php
	if($page == 'art'){
	?>
	<div class="maincontent">
	</div>
	<?
	}else if($page =='collection'){
	?>
	<div class="maincontent">
	</div>
	<?
	} else {
	?>
	<div class="flashnavig">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="151" height="674" id="flashnav" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="flash/flashnav.swf<?php echo"?gallery=$page"?>" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="flash/flashnav.swf<?php echo"?gallery=$page"?>" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="151" height="674" name="flashnav" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
	</div>
	<div class="gallery">
	<iframe src="displayimages.php" title="Gallery" name="gwindow" frameborder="0" height="100%" width="100%" scrolling="no"  allowtransparency="true">
<!-- Alternate content for non-supporting browsers -->
Iframe not supported
</iframe>
	</div>
<?
}
?>

in my flash on the first frame I have :

if (_level0.gallery != undefined) {
	
 _global.imgxml = _level0.gallery+".xml";
   
}

which is used to load and parse the xml associated with that page. (you can see it work in FF and Safari and Opera).

If you check the source from ie6 you see that the variable is correctly appended at the end of the swf.

I already tried using the kirupa flash fix for ie6 (the one involving javascript) to no avail.

Ignore the other problems on the page (floats doing extra v-space in ie and the padded bg), I’m working on that.

If you can point out whats wrong tell me.

I offer 20$ thru paypal to the first who solves it for me, I lost enough time on this already… (and please tell me if offering rewards is against the rules and I’ll retract the offer).

I<m out for a breath of freash air for an hour so I’ll reply when I come back.

Thanks in advance !
