\nWe upgraded our Flash players to the current version today and found a few slides on our sites didn’t work as expected.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhen clicked, they were supposed to take you to other pages, but with the upgrade, old code was found to be broken.\n<\/p>\n

\nLooking around, it appears the security model changed and we weren’t aware of this. I think it’s time to subscribe to the Flash RSS feed<\/a> to keep on top of bug fixes and upgrades.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnyway, it turned out our code could be fixed by just setting AllowScriptAccess<\/var> to be “always” or “sameDomain”, depending on the application. In the <object><\/code> tag this was achieved by adding…\n<\/p>\n

<param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\n… and in the embed tag…<\/p>\n

allowScriptAccess=\"always\"
\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\nThose of you using SWFObject<\/a>, the following JavaScript code does the trick…\n<\/p>\n

so.addParam(\"allScriptAccess\", \"always\");
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nThis means when we call getURL()<\/code> from ActionScript it is able to navigate to other pages on a foreign or the same domain.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere is a bit more information on this on the Adobe Flash knowledge base, Links from SWF files in HTML page no longer function (Flash Player 9)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
