FLASH: HTTP Referrer IE Windows

[Erik Mattheis]

Why do hyperlinks from my Flash movie not send the referrer page 

variable in some browsers?


A client is using a credit card service (ccnow) which returns an 

error when the script doesn't have the referrer variable ...


A visitor informed me of this, and I confirmed it in with IE 5 NT ... 

downloaded the ActiveX control again from MM ... still does not send 

it. Tried sending http_referer as a URL variable .... their wouldn't 

accept it.


The  not send it when sending link to a named window, nor _top; 

didn't try anything else, am sending visitors to a regular html page.


Is this a confirmed problem? Can anybody think of a less messy 

solution than changing the location of a hidden frame which would 

load the credit card service's basket?
