Hi,
I am using a dynamic text field in my flash movie to load in an external text file (html) that contains a list of links, unfortunatly there are issues when the flash is loaded in Firefox browsers (all files loaded or linked to are in the same server/folder).
I used a tutorial, , (minus the UIScroll Bar part) and so far clicking on the links it displays works (opens up link in a new window _blank) but only in IE browsers.
The Problem comes up in firefox. Where the text box loads in the external text file correctly, I can even mouse over the links, but clicking on them has no effect (sometimes at random, like 1 in 25 clicks, it would work)\
My Current text file contains the following:
news=<a href="releases/1.html" TARGET="_blank"><b>March 5, 2007</b><br>Test Link 1</a><br><br>
<a href="releases/2.html" TARGET="_blank"><b>February 15, 2007</b><br>Test Link 2</a><br><br>
The other action script code is the same as in the tutorial (except it has my variable name of 'news') and my flash text box is named 'myText_txt'.
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.html=true;
myText_txt.htmlText = this.news;
};
myData.load("news.txt");
Can anyone offer a solution to get this working smoothly in Firefox browsers. I am aware there are bugs in Firefox that relate to flash's 'getURL' use but I'm not sure how those solutions can be used in this case (if there are any solutions)
