Hi guys!
Long time lurker - first post :).
I’m having some problems with loading linked images into Flash. The code is in HTML and stored in an external file on my server. This is an issue I just haven’t found any solutions to, and I’m hoping someone here has some good pointers.
Let me start by providing you with the simple HTML code that’s causing me the headaches:
<a href="http://www.link.com/link.html" target="_blank"><img src="getAdobeReader.gif"></a>
Now, at first everything looks just fine; the image is loaded and placing the mouse over the image correctly indicates that this is a link by changing the “pointy hand” icon. However, when trying to press the button nothing happens. When moving the mouse outside of the button it still looks like a hand. Now, when pressing the linked button a second time a new IE window opens and the correct URL loads correctly. The strange thing is, that the mouse needs to change position over the button before pressing the second time, otherwise it doesn’t work (!). When replacing the image with a simple textlink instead it works perfectly.
Anyone ever seen this before? You can see this issue on the website I’m working on at this moment (work in progress mind you! :D).
Press the second button on the top menu (Föreningar), and then “Stadgar” on the left menu. You’ll see the “get Adobe Reader” button on the right.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Patrick J.
