asfunction issues 1

[gormster]

Hi all

I've got a flash site that utilizes dynamic HTML text, and I use the asfucntion protocol to call internal flash functions from the links in that text. Up until fairly recently it worked perfectly - however, now, whilst it still works when I run it in flash (as in, Control>Test Movie), the asfunction links do nothing when I run it in a browser (even if I'm running it from my hard drive).

I'm not sure, but I think this might have something to do with the version nine upgrade for browsers. Has anyone else had a similar problem, or (more importantly) found a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Can you post your code here as it's impossible to work out what's happening without it?

Did you ever solve the asfunction problem? I have the exact same trouble. Thanks in advance.

Here's the quick test I just did. This works fine for me. Does this work for you?

var tf1:TextField = this.createTextField("tf1", 1, 10, 10, 300, 1);
with (tf1) {
	autoSize = true;
	html = true;
	htmlText = "Some text with <a href='asfunction:helloWorld'><u>asfunction link</u></a>";
}
var tf2:TextField = this.createTextField("tf2", 2, 10, 40, 300, 1);
tf2.autoSize = true;
function helloWorld():Void {
	tf2.text = "Hello World!";
}

Hi everyone!

Oh my god, I completely forgot I even posted this. I actually gave up at the time.

I think it actually did have something to do with the version nine upgrade, since I recently upgraded to Flash CS3 it works fine, despite the fact that I'm still using ActionScript 2.0.

So thanks, everyone
