GetURL does work with IE Mac. 


However, javascript detection does not work with IE 4.5 because the

browser cannot detect plug-ins and always returns a value of false.


For workarounds and suggestions, try this technote:

In fact, doing a search on "redirect" from this page:


http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/technotes.html


will bring up about a dozen articles, some of which may help you.
