Re: FLASH: IE 4.5 Mac Issue

[Helen Triolo]

This is what Colin Moock has to say (clipped from his list of things

that don't work in IE 4.5 at

http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/macie/):


4. javascript protocol non-functional from geturl 

     (fixed in ie5)     strangely, calling a javascript using the

javascript protocol from a geturl action doesn't work in ie 4.5. i say

strange because this *does* work in ie3 on mac. so the following geturl

would fail in 4.5:


     Get URL ("javascript:alert("hi there");") 


the only workaround is to load a page into a hidden frame that calls the

javascript using the onload event handler.
