Addressing the "getURL" FireFox bug - AS 2.0 and AS 3.0

no@spam.com (Erik Liddell) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:00:00 CST

The "getUrl();" function in flash is one of the simplest and most widely used scripts in Flash and many of you will probably say, "Man, I am a 'getUrl();' guru!"�

I know thats what I would have said until I switched my default browser from IE to Firefox and started noticing a mind boggling bug.� I was building a Flash AP to run off a CD-ROM and using get url to load pdfs from that�CD.��To�my suprise�my simple and direct getUrl(); script was worknig fine in Internet explorer, but for some crazy reason, in Firefox it was loading an empty page or even numerous empty tabs. (this bug is on a windows based system)��This bug has to do with the way firefox interprets a filr - url, how Windows calls your default browser,� and how flash�issues that command line to Windows.

This tutorial will explain the bug, and show the solution in both AS 2.0 and 3.0

It will go over strings, substrings, indexOf
