Well the fix was a hack, i document wrote a 1.1 pixel of a flash movie
to the browser and gave it the same id as my other movie... and it works
now. My methods from my flex app are calling the page.
Has anybody else had this problem? "id undefined" in ie on complex pages
(php?) with flash components trying to access javascript methods? I
know i am on a rant but, this kind of stuff sucks for developers.
Thanks,
Patrick
"we should call it die-e"
my example of how i did, it - i wrote to an invisble div layer with a
tiny swf.
document.write('<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0";
width="600" height="130" id="xmlReader" align="middle">\n');
document.write('<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />\n');
document.write('<param name="movie" value="embed.swf" /><param
name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />\n');
document.write('<embed src="embed.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1" height="1" name="xmlReader" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; />\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
//and then i used the adobe method on the page as well and it seems to
bypass the "undefined" issue.
