| I've just built a site using two frames, one for navigation and the other
for content. The navigation frame contains a flash movie. The content frame
contains various html documents which are loaded via buttons in the flash
movie in the nav frame.
Everything works fine except for an odd problem involving absolute vs
relative links. One of the pages which is loaded by a button in the navbar
is on another server and called up using an absolute link. All the links
work as they should until I hit this button and call up the remote page. It
loads fine but I am subsequently unable to call up any other local page in
the content pane using the flash buttons.
Here are more facts which may be relavent:
I recently installed Flash MX for the first time, having used Flash 5
previously.
I created a nearly identical website using Flash 5 to create the navbar and
did not have this problem.
After opening the .fla file from this older website in Flash MX (did not
change or resave it), the (older) website exhibits the same problem on my
local machine (worked fine before and works fine where it currently resides
on a live server, unadulterated by MX).
Another notable clue...
after I click a button which loads a remote page using an absolute address
into the content frame, buttons which also load from absolute addresses
still work, as do buttons which load a page into the _parent frame; only the
buttons that load local pages using a relative address into the content
frame no longer work.
Again, all of the buttons work until I load a remote page into the content
page. Then the ones calling local pages stop working.
I could make all of the addresses absolute but this is undesireable as it
makes the site less transportable. There has to be a better way that does
not involve jerry-rigging.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Is this a Flash MX issue?
Would really appreciate any advice on this.
