Seems to work fine with Netscape� Communicator 4.5, just tried 4 times.

This is the scoop. It's not possible to give outsiders access to our
webserver and content in progress due to our client's contracts. So I took
the test button that I'm using for testing the getURL command on our server
and set up a URL on my personal ISP's server for you all to check. And
from there the getURL command works on my PC in Netscape 4.08!

http://www.speakeasy.org/~daveh/geturl/

All it is is a SWF with one button. The button has one action, which is a
getURL to an HTML page with a bit of text in it. The same content on our
internal server chokes NS 4.08, but not NS 3.01. In 4.08 it dispays the
HTML page, and then immediately shuts itself down.

It sure sounds like some kinda problem with our server. When I check the
MIME type for the Flash movie coming from our server on the Netscape View
Page Info page, it says Mime type=application/x-shockwave-flash. Any other
ideas?

TIA,

Dave
