Flash Player 10.1 support with AS2?

Hi,

I'm just beginning to use Flash in webpages.

I decided to use AS2 instead of 3 as I only need very basic scripts and AS2 looks more simple.

I updated my browser's Flash Player from 8 to 10, and the script doesn't work anymore o.O

on(release)

{

getURL("http://mywebsite.com/button_directs_here.php");

}

The button.swf is shown in the page and it reacts to mouse , but clicking it doesn't link me to the anywhere.

Might it be the php coding is wrong, even though it worked with FP8?

<object width="139" height="55">

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

<embed src="button.swf" width="139" height="55" wmode="transparent">

</embed>

</object>

I need the website online asap to start business, but this is blocking me 😕😕
I'd really appreciate any help, thanks!

Chances are the problem is all in your html embedding code.  If what you show is all you have, then it is quite a few bricks short of a full load.  Let Flash publish an html page for you and then see if that page plays properly in all browsers. If so, use the code from that page instead of what you show.  It may also require the use of a supporting javascript file.

As soon as I posted this I found out that the issue does not exists with IE. I had only tested it with Chrome and Firefox, so I thought it must be the FP10, not the browsers.
