Anyone find a solution to this firefox bug? Seems it is only not working with firefox 3.6
There's workaround using ExternalInterface() if you are running the swf in a browser window but if you are planning to run it as a projector running from a cd, then you are out of luck.
I am wanting to run it as a projector from a CD. First the pipe character issue (beat that) and now this. What has happened to my favorite browser? So what do I tell my client? "Sorry, but you will loose a pretty significant portion of users"?
Sorry, not sure how your username got there. That was my response.

There,s some talk of a workaround for projector over at flashkit.com, although its not really a elegant solution. You can try calling apple script for mac or vbscript for window using fscommands from your projector. The applescript in turn will launch the url in safari instead of firefox. For the Vbscript version, Internet explorer will be launch.
This is indeed how I resolved it. Not the most straight forward approach and quite a bit of work given the amount of links I have. But it worked and the project shipped to diskmakers yesterday so I can have a relaxing weekend :). Thanks for the help.
