[flexcoders] Re: OMFG, i am about to go crazy - SOLVED - uh I think
Hi Patrick,
I understand your frustration.
However I am quite interested in the solution? Was a flash player
upgrade enough to solve the issue? Was there any other potential work
around?
What was the code exactly that was not working?
I am sure pretty much all the developers on this list would like to be
aware of any browser incompatibilities.
Thanks and Keep your head up...

that work better than the one that comes with their computer. The
firefox adoption rate is analagous to the same amount of people who buy
a new car and stick with the same stock shitty radio that came with it
which is like 80%.

The issue seem to be related to IE7 and 9.016 of flashplayer. This did
make the issue a lot less apparent.
However, to see the issue, you have to take a moment to visit a page
and see for yourself.
me.com/patrickdj
you'll see a slideshow about 1 quarter the way down on the left
hover of the me.com logo
click on get the code
click on ok (this will erase and set your system clipboard)
Repeat the above - 1 out of 10 attempts or so, the 'OK' does not seem to
receive a click event?
Ever heard of something this strange?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hey Patrick,
Nice site...
I found the ok button did not always work, funnily enough when I
clicked left of the words ok...
I have flash version 9.0.28 in my IE.
Have you be able to recreate the error when debugging?
I don't know off hand how to get the debugging going in I.E. flex
builder always loads up Firefox for me.
Basically, I was thinking that if you put trace () commands in your
button event handler or even try and debug it might help you find what
the issue is.
If you wanted to post the code I would be happy to give it a quick
look over... I am not expert by far...

Maybe the javascript when incorporated into a busy page needs to be
executed inside of a when document is ready function. Jquery, and
other toolkits, have one liners to handle this.

I do use Adobe's flash detection. I wasn't using the var

that's my bad. Actually, I have issues with swfObject and logging
people out of our php session so i never use it.
Adobe's solution is good, except it's very exacting, the way it's
implemented on a page. For instance, don't try to use Adobe's
detection
kit in one long set of js code in the middle of the page... It
doesn't
seem to work that way for IE. Also, I even tried to have php echo
javascript, which I thought was excellent but did not work around
the
click to activate garbage.
The issue for this situation is that there's a bunch of php files
and I
am inserting flash into one part of a page, in this case I couldn't
edit
the file with the head tag because there's several pages that had
different head tags that my or may not include the script with my
flash
embed tag. I assume for flash detection to be perfect from adobe,
you
need to include the AC_OETag.js file in the head. Alternatively,
I had
just just before the flash and that was my issue. I am not sure
why of
the reason for this? Maybe someone can shed some light on this
topic as
I am not Mr. Javascript
