Question

IE and FMS issue

I have an fms app which won't disconnect people in IE unless they close the browser completely. Simply going to another url in the browser leaves their name in the peoplelist. I've tried everything here without success. Even IE 8 shows same problem on Vista. IE on XP works fine as well as some versions of IE on Vista.

Firefox, opera, chrome all work fine everytime.

The problem, it seems, is IE won't "leave" pages until it's closed no matter what.

Any ideas on this one?

    That's not really an FMS issue... it's a problem with IE.

    What method are you using to embed your .swf? I find using SWFObject unloads the swf properly (via an onUnload event).

    I am using swfobject1.5

    <script type="text/javascript">
           
                var s1 = new SWFObject("hostView.swf","Audition","843","545","9","#FFFFFF");
                s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
                s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
                s1.addParam('allownetworking','all');
                s1.addParam("flashvars","targeturl=url&rtmpurl=rtmpurl")
                s1.write("container");
    </script>

    But it is not working for m e

    Try updating to SWFObject 2.1. I may be wrong, but I don't think 1.5 had the onBeforeUnload handler.
