Simple flash banner problem

[RFH Reseller: petemasson]

I haven't really used much flash before, so pardon my ignorance...

I've created a very simple animated banner, which links to another domain using some actionscript;

e.g.

on(release){
 getURL("http://www.adomain.com","_blank");
}

This works fine in IE6 and firefox, but not in IE7. The banner displays, but is not clickable. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Pete

I've not looked at IE7 but I would have a guess at some sort of security setting in IE7.

There is some new security settings in IE7, I believe flash is not meant to display until you actually click on it to enable it.

Funny thing is, that it displays fine, you just can't click on it at all, let alone to follow the link.

I also haven't bothered to try out IE7 yet. However, I believe this issue is being caused by security measures to prevent cross-domain scripting attacks.

The fix I use to get around this issue is to call the flash onto the page via javascaipt, so you don;t have to click on it to work it
