Max Carlson - 07/Nov/07 02:07 PM Attaching a version of the testcase that works around the issue in IE 6.

Max Carlson - 07/Nov/07 02:19 PM Fix found by promanik: This page discusses the problem in detail, but since I don't understand the details of how the flash is embedded, can you take it from here? http://www.ryangorer.com/blog/2007/10/12/setting_url_hash_value_from_flash.html http://www.ryangorer.com/blog/files/20071012_setting_url_hash_value_from_flash_parent.html Normally, calling a JavaScript function from Flash acts the same way as it would if you were to call the JavaScript function from a button on the web page itself, for instance. However, there is a bug in Internet Explorer 6 which causes it to mishandle the setting of the page hash when the JavaScript function is being called from Flash. Firefox and Safari process this function from Flash just fine; go figure. In order to get this function to work in IE6, you have to embed the Flash application into an IFrame. Then, the Flash application calls a JavaScript function which sets the value of "parent.location.hash" instead of "window.location.hash". Thankfully, this technique also works in Firefox and Safari, so getting this functionality to work in all browsers can be accomplished using a single approach. The attached workaround embeds the app in an iframe in ie 6 - see index.html in the attached testcase (testiframe.zip).

Max Carlson - 07/Nov/07 03:22 PM This version works around the issue without requiring a separate html file to be loaded by the iframe...

Max Carlson - 07/Nov/07 03:25 PM Here's the essence of the fix: <script type="text/javascript">               if (Lz.__BrowserDetect.isIE && Lz.__BrowserDetect.version < 7 && window.top == window) {                 // write out a top-level iframe for IE 6 only - see lpp-5056                 var loc = window.location + '';                 // take everything after the last '/', up to the hash mark                 loc = loc.substring(loc.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, loc.lastIndexOf('#'));                 // Add a string to bust the cache in the embedded iframe and ensure it loads...                 if (loc.indexOf('?') == -1) {                     loc += '?'                 } else {                     loc += '&'                 }                 loc += 'cachebuster=' + (new Date()).getTime()                 // add the original hash, if any                 loc += window.location.hash;                 // write out an iframe that points back to this URL                 document.write('<iframe src="' + loc + '" width="99%" height="99%" frameborder="no"></iframe>');               } else {                 Lz.swfEmbed({url: 'test.lzx.lzr=swf8.swf?lzproxied=false', bgcolor: '#ffffff', width: '100%', height: '100%', id: 'lzapp', accessible: 'false'});               }             </script><noscript>             Please enable JavaScript in order to use this application.         </noscript>
