Flash 8 Links Stop Working!
SEspider Aug 31, 2010 4:38 PMI've gone through the forums here and elsewhere but found no solution. I apologize if I've over-looking something.
I use Flash 8.
I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.
But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great.
The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.
This is the HTML exported via Flash8

Here are two different test pages consisting the SAMEswf file (loaded to the page correctly).

Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.
Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)
#1
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html");
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#2
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html","_self");
}

MINOR UPDATE
========================================================
The file still doesn't work. But I uploaded it to another section of the server (not sure why I did that) and it worked.
BUT, there's a catch. It only works on pages that are ON THAT SERVER.
I've tried it on 2 different servers (Aa & Bb) with the same results.
Anyone know what might be causing this? Both directories are public.
Even trying to add the Flash to a page through a embedding code yields the same results.
Examples:
Flash is place on server Aa & the page that holds it is on server Bb, then the links don't work (and vis-versa).
But Placing the both the Flash and the page that holds it on the same server ends in success.
Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work. Especially if the button's links are full "http:// www. Website .com" address as I've used here.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
