textField <a href="asfunction:func" and FireFox pop-up blocker

programming flash

I can not find a work-around for avoiding the FireFox pop-up blocker while utilizing XML content with anchor links. I’ve tried a batch of ExternalInterface calls and only FireFox is blocking the links - IE, Safari, etc. work fine.

Is anyone aware of this consistent issue, and does anyone have a work around?

any help is appreciated, thanks!

In the external interface call dont simply open a window… rather call a js function in the same page with the url that you want to open as a parameter. then let the js open the new window / popup that way it should wotk…

thanks for the response, but that method still gets blocked for me when the click is coming from dynamic text within a textField. Buttons utilizing the onRelease handle work fine, but not from the textField - I’m stumped.

Hi creatify,

I know I have seen various quirks with Firefox and externalInterface, like onPress does not work and onRelease does, etc… How are you using externalInterface? I know that can be picky also in Firefox, like in some cases using ExternalInterface.call(); at times does not work, while flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(); does work. Strange.

Please post your solution if indeed you find one :wink:
