Has anyone else run into this and solved it? I have a SWF that calls javascript functions in the HTML file it's embedded in. When I first open the site, all the javascript functions called are executed properly and open the popup windows they control. If I click a link in the SWF that downloads a zip file, all the same javascript functions when called again are passed to the window location instead of being executed. http://www.milkmanmike.com/comeback/ STEPS TO REPLICATE - Select Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or Disclaimer at the lower right. (Popup appears) - Select Video Diary from Main Nav. - Select any of the Download links on the far right. - Cancel or Start the download - Select Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or Dislaimer at the lower right. No popup. WindowsXP suppresses the error entirely, aside from an alert sound. Windows2000 displays the javascript function call in the window location. //// POPUP AS EXAMPLE //// privacy_but.onPress = function() { getURL ("javascript:launchPrivacy();"); }; //// //// //// ZIP DOWNLOAD AS EXAMPLE //// video3download.onPress = function() { getURL("//VIDEO ZIP URL//"); }; //// //// I've uploaded a simplified example to illustrate the issue further here: http://www.switchinteractive.com/testJS_Flash.zip Anyone else run into this? I'd like to solve this without resorting to opening yet another popup to download the video outside of the flash and using "_blank" for the zip file link isn't a bulletproof method across platforms and browsers to initiate the zip download as shown here: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/htdig/flashcoders/2004-December/127264. html How would you regain javascript access/focus after downloading the file? Thoughts are much appreciated, ..........
