I didn’t really know where to put this post, so I guess I’ll put it here…

I have recently had a new problem occur. In Internet Explorer I can’t execute any _getURL_ stuff. I don’t know what is happening, works fine in all my other browsers (Opera, FireFox, Netscape) but IE just suddenly stopped linking. I figure its a security setting somewhere, but I failed to find it. I tried re-installing and un-installing flash MX as well as all the shockwave players and whatnot.

Hoping that someone else has worked through this problem,

mmm… never heard of a similar problem, what version of ie are you using? I’d be very surprised if there was a security setting to block such actions. Could be a problem with ie itself…
