Re: FLASH: Mouse Down not working on mac : solution

[Frédéric Pierron / Blast Interaction]

Hi,


Thanks for your reply. I have found the problem :

All the path from the home page were on the vertical menu like

"folder/file.html". It works with every combination of browser/OS except

Mac/internet Explorer 4.5. I had to rewrite all like :

"../folder/file.html". The double .. means go to the root. It seems that

IE/Flash have a chroot based from the place where the swf file is stored and

the other flashplug in/browser have a chroot where the html file is stored.

Does someone from Macromedia can confirm that ?


Yes, the horizontal row doesn't send you somewhere, it is just a roll over

to explain the name of the cheese.

If you're curious, you can go deeper in the site, there's a flash quizz, a

flash cartoon, a flash corporate presentation... Or you can wait for a

month, there're will be a english version.


Regards,


Frederic


Translation ;) :

Apparemment le probleme provenait du fait que le chemin indiqué était un peu

caduque : en indiquant seulement le répertoire où se trouvait le fichier à

charger (dossier/fichier.html), IE 4.5 sur Mac se perd car il prend ce

chemin à partir de l'endroit où se trouve le fichier Flash et non pas le

fichier HTML qui héberge le fichier Flash. Il faut donc expliciter le chemin

en faisant un chemin relatif clair (../dossier/fichier.html). Dans ce cas ça

marche pour tous les navigateurs et toutes les plateformes. Apparemment,

l'alliance IE/Mac ne fonctionne pas de la meme maniere que les autres

alliances puisque c'est la seule config qui provoquait une erreur.
