Subject: FLASH: FSCOMMAND Frames and IE 4
From: Byer, Mark
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 20:50:30 +0100

I've scanned all of John's support list, scoured Macromedia's technotes,
browsed Moock's lists and I still can't seem to get this problem solved. So
it's time to head for the BIG guns -- this auspicious list!

This may seem like the same question asked so many times before -- Two HTML
frames, a SWF in each and FSCOMMANDs "linking" them... still there seems to
be something missing.

The following code is one of two frames. This is just a simple test site.
The SWFs just send each other commands to jump to a specific label. It works
very slick in all the versions of Netscape I've tested but will not work in
IE (4.x on Mac and Windows) I suspect the Explorer check code, but I'm
stumped.

Any ideas out there in FlasherLand! Thanks for the help!

The two frames are named "tell1" and 'tell2"
Frame "tell1" has an embeded .swf named "tell1"
Frame "tell2" has an embeded .swf named "tell2"
