Re: FLASH: Troubl with Execs and Netscape

[Helen Triolo]

Lorenzo,


Thanks for answering a question that no one else on this list could ever

answer -- what happens if you have Netscape and not IE and click on a

GetURL from a flash exe (I guess you're the only person that dared and

was able to remove IE from your machine ;-)  Yes, it's a Flash 4 bug

that Flash geturls from exe's always open IE rather than the default

browser specified in the registry -- it's been fixed in Flash 5 though.


Regards,

Helen
