I been having a problem with an .swf file that I've exported from a PC but the buttons does not function on iMacs. How can I make it compatible?

The Catalog Banner (the one a punk girl from out from) on htmlthug.com

SWF files are supposed to work the same on any operating system. It doesn't matter if you build it on a PC, it should work on a Mac too. Can you provide some more information? Some source code, perhaps?

I don't really know what I can provide, I just inputed the addresses in behaviors and set them on self on the web site option.
And for some weird reason of I tried to open the .swf itself on a Mac to test it, Flash CS3 opens rather than the player. :\

BTW, one of the source codes is:

Black.onRollOver = over;
Black.onRollOut = out;

function over() {
this.gotoAndPlay (2);
}
function out() {
this.gotoAndPlay (8);
}

The rest is basically the same code.

That's some of the more information I needed. Now, are you trying to open a SWF in the browser, or just from the file system?

If its from the file system, I imagine that the Mac you are testing on is set up to open SWF files in Flash CS3. There should be a standalone player installed somewhere with Flash CS3. Look in /Applications/Adobe Flash CS3 to see if you can find FlashPlayer.app to view the SWF instead (I'm not 100% certain about those file paths since I'm on my PC at the moment, but they should be close enough for you to find the right location).

I'm not sure, I just want the buttons to fuction on Macs (it seems it tries to open the program with it if it is alone rather than on the site). I even tried a different way with by removing the coding and manipulating the graphics by transforming them into buttons alone and changing the over into a movie clip with works prefectly on the site and with the behavior attacted it now reads that it leads to a link but it doesn't trys load it.

BTW, I've tested it on different iMacs every time repleatly.

Should I try and send the file over to you if that's possible?

I finally got it to work on the Macs (after many attempts and experimentation D: ) by changing the flash version to 6 and the actionscript to 1.0. Thanks very much for your time Dr_Zeus. ^^
