getURL prob in IE (only some......) 1

[draigGoch]

Right, at work we have a flash interface embedded in a html page and when click on an item in a listbox in the flash, it opens up a window -

getURL("javascriptpenURL('"+strListAnimsText0.getValue()+"','width=800,height=603,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable,screenX=0,left=0,screenY=0,top=0,left=0')");

In the main html page, we have a javascript function named openURL which is as follows:

function openURL(getURL,parameters){
window.open(getURL,"_blank",parameters)
}

This method works fine in Firefox, and it does on my IE6 - version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Update version: SP2

This used to work on everyone's PC, but now it doesn't work on some of my colleagues' IE6 - with the same version details! Even stranger is that one of my colleagues then did a system restore back a couple of weeks and it worked fine!

Even stranger is that I have setup a blank html page with a single link using the same javascript function as above - and it works on everyone's pc!

Our work PCs are setup to automatically install windows updates.

Does anyone have any ideas - or i fear that i will turn to the bottle - or listen to those voices in my head again!!!

Sorry, i forgot to mention that it works when webpage is online and not running locally, but we need to run the pages locally......

If it fails only in the local environment, it almost certainly is the Flash player 8+ local security issue. If you add the directory in the Global security settings panel, will it work?

Aaaahh - it sounds so easy when someone else says it!!!! Fantastic it worked, and now I've seen the screen, I remember seeing it before......

Thanks a lot, and have a star
