FLASH: cross platform problems-GetUrl

[David Bausola]

Has anyone come across cross platform problems regarding  get url  from a

projector?


after building the .fla and exporting the .swf on Mac, the GetUrl commmand

from the .swf or projector on PC doesnt want to know (doesn't launch a

browser or send variables to the asp page-which is what I'm using the GetUrl

command for) The Mac version works fine with both NS and IE


after building the .fla again on the PC, exporting .swf on a PC - all is

well. But taking the .fla back on the Mac, adding this .fla movie to another

.fla (built on Mac), exporting and returning to a PC to create a PC

projector / or taking the Mac built .fla opening it on a PC and then

generating the PC .swf  - the GetUrl command dont work...why??


My guess is that the Mac .swf (when exported from Mac Flash) calls the

browser differently than how a PC .swf (when exported from PC Flash) calls a

browser.


Any clues how to get around this <yes, I need to use the GetUrl command> or

I am left with building 80% of the project again on the PC.


I'm up against the clock, so suggestions welcome ASAP...
