Hi Steve – the honest truth is I’m not sure if we still need it or not. I didn’t create the page that we have included your script on originally, and there are no comments on there about what it is there to achieve. I’ve not really found a great deal of information on this site about why you created the script – and what purpose it is intended to serve? Can you give me a short overview – or point me at the right page of this site?

Our flash file is being embedded using swfobject: The initial tag looks like this:

I’m glad to see this script is still helping people! I actually stopped working on this after the SWFObject library was redesigned a couple years back, I was under the impression that most flash-embedding code generators were already working around the problem. What flash embedding method are you using? SWFObject, some other library or plain HTML tags?

Hi Steve – thanks for publishing this script. We’ve been using it successfully for a while – but have recently discovered that it generates an infinite sequence of modal alert message-boxes when used in IE9. Works fine in IE6,7,8 firefox, chrome etc… but not IE9. Initially got in touch with Microsoft, thinking it is an IE9 issue, but they have pointed out that the problem is an incompatibility between this script and IE9′s new object model. Are you already aware of this and do you have any plans to update the script to work with IE9 (or fail more gracefully )

Doesn't work if the form doesn't have an id or name, which by default it doesn't when using .Net applications.

The link to the Javascript file seems to be broken:

[url=http://devel.teratechnologies.net/swfformfix/swfformfix2_2-0-0.js]http://devel.teratechnologies.net/swfformfix/swfformfix2_2-0-0.js[/url]

on this page:

[url=http://devel.teratechnologies.net/swfformfix/extinterface-swfformfix2.php]http://devel.teratechnologies.net/swfformfix/extinterface-swfformfix2.php[/url]

I viewed source and downloaded the script, but it seems to be v2.0.1 and I'm not sure if that's the latest version or not.

Also, I'd like to add my thanks for posting this! It's the first one I've found that actually seems to work in IE7 and Firefox!

Thank you very much for all the hard work you have put into this application. I believe (and am hoping and praying) that everything is finally working. I am so glad I decided to read the comments and learned about the noCache function you wrote as that was driving me crazy.

You should put a PayPal link up for donations as I think you just saved my job.

Hi,

I've a problem using swffixform with IE ! ! !
Actualy, if I put in my code : [code]SWFFormFix("FlashDynamicPageBuilder");[/code]

When this code is executed, IE seems to empty (the adress don't change, but the page became totaly white, empty) my page and make a verification. This issue is on IE 6 and IE 7. I don't know what to do. I want to use swffixform for IE because I want to use exteralInterface and let javascript call flash method. But if the solution, swffixform, create another issue, I think I'll lose my mind

Thank you

hi steve,

i have a doubt.

this is the senario.
i have say, 5 movies. in a for loop i call a flex func. the flex func. in turn calls a JS called test.

i thought the test function will be called for all movies but it is called for only one movie.

what is the reason. and what shd i do for calling test by all the movie?

{
var height:Number = 150;
var width:Number = 200;
var con:String = height +","+ width;
var jscommand:String = "parent.test('"+con+"');";
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
navigateToURL(url, "_self");
}

but i get err saying

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method
