GetURL no longer working - used to!

I've got a Flash file which I have recently updated with my
new all-singing-all-dancing CS4. In Flash 8 it all worked
perfectly. I used getURL... I set allowScriptAccess to "always" in
the html file, set publish settings to "Access network only" and
there was never a problem. However, now I am publishing in CS4
(still using AS2) it no longer works. I've checked the html file...
looks fine. Any ideas? It works from the machine on which the code
is written (sameDomain?) but when run on another refuses to access
the Internet. The funny thing is that if I drop the Flash file into
another application such as PowerPoint or Smart Notebook it all
works perfectly. It's just when it runs through IE on any machine
other than mine.
Any help gratefully received!

Hello again kglad, good to hear from you
I'm writing a series of short flash applications for schools
to use in teaching geography (do you remember the jigsaw picture
you helped me with?) I do one a month and they are posted on a
website for download. At the end of each application is a page with
'links' to pages on a website for further info. Users are able to
click the links and go to the web page. I've always used getURL
etc. (see previous message for settings). However, all the previous
ones (written in Flash 8 but using the same AS2 code) have worked
perfectly when it came to the links. The problem arises if, say, I
put a copy of the .swf and associated html file onto my computer at
school. The Flash runs faultlessly when run through IE but when the
page is displayed with the links on none of them work. You can
click them and they appear to respond but nothing happens. The
wierd thing is if I drop the Flash into another application (for
example an Interactive Whiteboard page) the links work perfectly.
Any ideas? Have I got a setting wrong somewhere? They all look fine
to me. I've checked the html file and the publish settings in
Flash. Bit of a mystery.
Regards, Rick

  • Resetting PRAM no longer works using Leopard

    It seems that Leopard has changed the way to reset PRAM. Holding down the command-option-p-r keys no longer works on my iMac and PB. Anyone know the new way to reset PRAM in Leopard?
    Thx
    lenn

    Hi! A pram reset is at the hardware level before the OS starts to load so leopard isn't apt to have killed it. Are you using a keyboard other than an original? I just tried resetting mine on my G4 with leopard and it worked fine. Tom

  • Why does airplay no longer work using my ipad and apple TV

    After the installation of the newest iOS for both my ipad and iPhone air play no longer displays video thru my Apple TV, it does give me the ability to listen to the sound, but does not display the video. All systems are using the latest software.

    Hulu plus an Amazon block their content from being used with airplay. However the video app with either your own videos or iTunes video should work correctly, is this the video app that you are referring to.
    If indeed airplay does not work correctly with any of your apps..
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Imessage no longer works using microphone

    After installing ios8 Siri no longer speaks when home button is pressed. Cannot use the microphone option to dictate imessage. Apple needs to fix these issues or allow re-install of ios7 to my iphone and ipad.

    This worked for a while but now it's back to the same old problem.  Any other ideas?  This is super annoying.

  • FireWire no longer works using Thunderbolt-FW800 adaptor

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Running all the latest 10.8.2 plus correct firmware on 13" MB Pro Retina.
    Lacie Rugged 1Tb FW drives - verified as being fine as recent as yesterday and on a FW equipped machine they mount and verify fine.
    I've repaired startup disk permissions, put the computer to sleep, woken it up, reset SMC, checked the integrity of FW kext files.
    Absolutely stumped.  This is 10.8.2, not System 8.6.
    Any ideas?

    There is a possibility that eventhough the LaCie drive meets
    all powering specs for Firewire 800, it may draw more power
    than the Thunderbolt port itself can provide.
    According to this, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5309 , the
    Thunderbolt port is capable of providing 7 watts.  So, it is possible
    the LaCie is pushing it just over the edge.  It may be happenning
    when the drive is first connected and the draw is too much at start up
    or it just simply draws a but more than the port can provide.

  • No longer working at all

    I've a HTC M8 and have been using Skype on it fine for months. Then my Windows laptop did an update from Skype. Since then my phone no longer works using Skype. It just crashes when a call connects. No one can hear me and no video is sent. Has someone messed up over at Skype??

    Time move forward and the system requirements do to
    System Requirements
    MobileMe has slightly different system requirements than .Mac. Please review the requirements below and upgrade as needed.
    Compatible device: Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPod touch.
    For Mac: Mac OS X v10.4.11 or latest version of Mac OS X Leopard; Firefox 2 or 3 or Safari 3.
    For PC: Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP2) or later; Firefox 2 or 3, Safari 3, or Internet Explorer 7*; Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later recommended.
    For iPhone and iPod touch: 2.0 software.

  • After updating my 5S to ios 8.1.2 sync calendar to outlook no longer works

    After updating my 5S to ios 8.1.2 sync calendar to outlook no longer works, using iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    It will sync from Outlook to the phone, but not from the phone to Outlook.  This was working last week with the last version of iTunes and ios 8.1.1

    Hello MEOS001,
    If you are not seeing any changes being made over to your iPhone and vice versa to your computer, take a look a the article below. It will walk you through resetting the SyncServices Folder as well the Sync history. It may also be an issue with any plug ins that Outlook may have installed that may be preventing the sync.

  • Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
    The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

  • I used to use a bookmark for maximizing the firefox window, but in FF9 it no longer works.

    Before upgrading, I used the following snippet of code in the "Location" field of a Bookmark:
    javascript:self.resizeTo(screen.availwidth,screen.availheight);self.moveto(0,0);
    However, with FF9 that no longer works. I attempted to change the front portion (before the open parenthesis) to:
    browser.window.resize_to
    but after I remove focus from the text box, it adds the "http://" to the front of the code and a "/" to the end of it. I have two questions:
    #1. Is there a way to stop Firefox from adding the "http://" and "/" to the location box?
    #2. Is there a better way to set up the bookmark (or another quick-access method) to automatically resize the window?

    You can only do that in the Scratchpad if an XUL window like about:addons or about:config is open.
    *Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
    You can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar in Firefox 6 and later.<br />
    You can see an error message in the Tools > Error Console.<br />
    That code now gets a null principal for security reasons and doesn't have any effect (Bug 656433).<br />
    You need to create a (keyword) bookmarklet and run the code by invoking that bookmark.<br />
    Use the Scratch pad (Firefox > Web Developer > Scratchpad; Shift+F4) to run JavaScript code.<br />
    Open a tab with an XUL page like about:addons (Tools > Addons) to be able to resize or move a window via JavaScript code in the Scratchpad in Firefox 9+.<br />

    PS Are you working on a version for the iPad and iPhone with Add Blocker? That would be great!

    Here are some zoom add-ons which might provide a workaround:

    I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.

    I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
    I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
    As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

  • I have a ibook G4 which has become redundant as my phone will no longer work with the version of itunes installed (latest it can use), how can I back up my phone to transfer to a new computer (a PC now)?

    My iphone 4s (7.1.1) will no longer work with my ibook G4 which is running 10.5.8. I have a PC which i'm now going to have to use, I've manually transferred my music and photos, but how do I go about transferring my contacts and calenders. What does itunes on PC sync to in terms of contacts and calenders?
    Thanks!

    You can use iTunes to sync the contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, and email account information on your computer with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes also syncs this information from your device to your computer—for example, if you add contacts on your iPad, syncing adds those contacts to Windows address book or Outlook Express on your computer.

  • I just bought a (used) Iphone 3gs for wife and it had angry birds and $89 Navigation on it (I paid extra for it).  Once updated and logged into my I-tunes it no longer works? How can I make those apps work?

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.
