<script language="JavaScript">
	function addtoFavo(){
		window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.studiogazal.com','Studio Gazal, Professional graphic design');
	}
	function setasHome(){
		document.body.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';
		document.body.setHomePage('http://www.studiogazal.com');
	}
</script>

And of course the following in my swf:

getURL("javascript:addtoFavo();");
getURL("javascript:setasHome();");

try this:
replace these lines:

		document.body.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';
		document.body.setHomePage('http://www.studiogazal.com');

with:

		this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';
		this.setHomePage('http://www.studiogazal.com');

and see what happens.

Still nothing happened....

Hi,

try this. should work for IE and firefox:

<script>
function addBookmarkForBrowser() {
  if (document.all)
  {
    window.external.AddFavorite(document.location.href, document.title);
  } else {
    var ea = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
    ea.initMouseEvent("mousedown",1,1,window,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,null);
    var eb = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
    eb.ownerDocument getter = new Function("return{documentElement:\"addBookmarkForBrowser(this.docShell);\",getBoxObjectFor:eval}");
    eb.dispatchEvent(ea);
  }

Who needs those things anyways? I would never click on a button to set my home page or add a bookmark - I keep such features disabled... Nobody's messin with my browser except me! ... If I want to bookmark something, i'll bookmark it faster with ctrl+d than to bother clicking on some links...

Neither would I, CTRL+D for president. But hey, remember to always think about the ways of your target-audience first; stupid Lizzy from down the street who bumped into the site incidentally might click the bookmark-link. In 4 years maybe she'll need some proper webdesign for the hairdresser's saloon she started...

I have seriously tried the three variations that I could find on this site for setting the current page as "Home Page", but none of them have worked thus far. I can't seem to find a current post about this either. Can someone please help me out with this. Maybe tell me where I am going wrong. I would post the code I have been using, but it's exactly what was listed here and also attempted what was listed in other threads. I managed to get the bookmark property to work, but not the "Set As Home Page" property. Anyone care to shed some light on this? Pleeeease?
