Hi all,
I have a small bug which is bothering me.
My site is launched through an html page which loads a preloader movie. The preloader movie then proceeds to load several movies into different layers. Each of the movies in the different layers contains navigation buttons which play and stop movies in the other layers.
In the html code that loads the preloader there is a javascript routine called pop() which pops up a window with another html page. The only way to activate this javascript routine is through a button in the movie in level1, called homePage. I am using the getURL function to call the javascript routine.
Now my problem is this:
One of the several movies loaded is a movie where the user can stream .ram, .asx, and .mp3 files. This movie, mediaPage, is loaded into level 7.
The first movie to play is the homePage in level 1. If I click on the button that calls the javascript pop() routine, everything works fine....the window pops up and the other html page is loaded. However, if I navigate to the mediaPage, and then stream an audio file (doesn't matter which format), navigate back to the homePage, and then attempt to pop up the window again. I get a blank window with javascript:pop() in the URL space. I assume this means that it doesn't recognise the routine.
This ONLY happens AFTER I stream an audio file from the mediaPage. Simply navigating between movies at different layers does not affect my ability to pop up the window once I get back to the homePage in layer 1.
Is there something basic that I am missing here? Does it have something to do with the fact that I am using getURL to access the javascript function? A browser problem perhaps? I am using IE version 5.5. I have not tested on any other browsers.
Help!!
Thanks.
