Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome

Jul 1, 2010 5:34 AM

Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk

As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.

I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?

Thanks

Hi, I use IE6 and tested it for you and they all work perfectly. I don't use IE7 or Chrome, so you may want to start a thread on the Flash forum or take a look at the other threads there. Maybe others are having that problem also.

Perhaps another person will have other advice.

Thanks,

Hi eidnolb,

I've worked out the problem in Chrome. The .swf buttons were stored in a different folder to the html page they were placed in (../flashbutton.swf)

I discovered that moving all the flash buttons into the same folder as the html page solve the problem! Unbelievable that something that simple could cause Chrome so many problems.

Not tested it on IE7 yet though.

Thanks for testing it for me!

Hi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL

I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.
