Flash button not working in IE

2 New Member
I have an web application, for a menu to go to page to page wit in the web app I am using flash buttons. The problem is that the first time I click on the flash button everything works fine the page load fires and the web page is displayed. But then if I close that page and then click on the same button the page load does NOT fire and I get the original web page back again. If I do this in Fire Fox it works but not in IE. If I put a simple redirect button on the page everything works fine in IE. So it has to be the flash button.
Here is the script I am using for the flash button
btnFareHistory. onRelease = function(){
getURL("Monthly FareHistory.asp x", "_self");
};

btnFareHistory is the name of the button and MonthlyFareHist ory.aspx is the name of the page it should go to.

Please help
Thank You

I'm a little confused. Your getURL function has a target of "_self" (this is the deafult setting BTW, so not needed, but anyway...), yet you've described the action of clicking the button as

the page load fires and the web page is displayed. But then if I close that page and then click on the same button the page load does NOT fire and I get the original web page back again.
Does your button open a new page?
It should load in the same window. (_self)
When rolling over your button, do you get "the finger?"
If not, make sure you are not going to a frame where your button onRelease function IS NOT DEFINED. In fact, just place the code ON the button, using the on(release){} method handler.
good luck

you might have to do this
getURL("www.MonthlyFare History.aspx", "_self");
you can add the http:// as well

Hello, maybe I can help you.
First publish your flash file, click on the publish button, then go to the "Flash" tab, there you see option about flash publishing, then go to "Local playback security", and change it from "Access Local files only" to "Access Network only" and click publish.
When you getting the Url in "_self" type, you might put your flash player (swf) in an html page (or aspx.....), because _self is for url, I mean when you run the flash player normally, the button cant hide the movie and go to the URL in the Flash Player Program.......
First try with _blank.
I hope this was helpful.

Allright, i got it and here is what i did:

You need to use absolute path for flash files eg.

Do not use
http://www.url.com/blog/flash/flashmenu.swf

Use
flash/flashmenu.swf

Thats it! Problem Solved

From what you wrote I'm guessing you want a popup, you need to use "_blank".

I found several discussions that hinted at my issue, but none that contained a solution. I have a main page that contains a FLASH movie/Menu. The rest of the site is contained in an IFrame that gets filled when the Flash buttons are clicked. Those pieces work as expected. On several of the iframe pages I have some movable panels that are Javascript driven. They work fine the first time the page is loaded. However, if the user goes to...
