Question

I am a little new to flash and ActionScript and I have this persistent problem with security I think.

The problem is that. I try to use code for a button in ActionScript 2.0 (i must use 2.0)

on(rollOver)
{
    getURL("javascript:someFunction();","_self");
}

This code is supposed to work, it worked for other people =)

Before you say that i am placing it in some wrong place. I place it in the button. Moreover it does work fine, when i try the movie in Flash CS5, using CTRL + ENTER. But when i embed my .swf I get a message something like

the aplication is trying to access page...see parameters for flash player

Sorry for a bad translation.

I also tried this code:

on(rollOver)
    {
        getURL("http://www.something.com","_self");
    }

and it worked.

the embed code:

        <object width="100%" height="60">
                <PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
                <PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="opaque" >
                <PARAM name="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always" >
                <EMBED src="small.swf" width="100%" height="60" wmode="opaque" quality="high" AllowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
                </EMBED>
                <noembed></noembed>
        </OBJECT>

I should add, that I don’t have any power over where the swf file is going to be hosted or anuthing of the sort. It really is not my swf file. All i can do is manipulate it via JAVASCRIPT and for that, I need to get the exact code to work.

Answer 1

I think the problem is simillar to this http://board.flashkit.com/board/archive/index.php/t-652586.html

As I know, the problem happens only when SWF is loaded from local folder. Try to put it on webserver and crossdomain issue should disappear.
