Help with strange problem...
Im trying to help a friend with her homepage.
She authors it on Mac and it works fine there but on PC as I use it doesn't work at all..
If you can help me/her I would be greatful.
The URL is:
http://www.malinjones.com
Enter her "stock-images". The idea is, when you click on a photo a pop-up should emerge with a enlarged version. That works great the problem is the "original" gallery page turns white showing [object].
Can anyone look at this for me.. Im so lost..
Ps. Please notice that we've used two different versions in trying to open the pop-up without any luck. You'll see it in the code..
Best regards,
Jonte

If it was straight HTML I would be able to help you, but as it's in Flash, I can't view what may be causing the problem. I don't understand the value of having a gallery in Flash.
A better popup script -- zerocattle.com/examples/popUp.html -- goes over how to make it accessible for people who have JavaScript disabled (et cetera). There are tutorials listed as well.
I don't see why it being authored on a Mac would make a difference, other than she can't test to see what's happening on a PC whilst doing it unless she's running an emulator -- something that would be the same but reversed if she was on a PC and it wasn't working on a Mac, btw. What she's building it on isn't the problem.
My guess would have been that the hyperlink generating the new window is not being killed (rendered null) but the links with javascript: in the href not working too means that's clearly not the case.

Thank you for a fast reply. Are you sure that the problem lays in Flash and not in the java code? I'll paste it for everyone to see...

The strange thing is that this page works fine on OS X, Macs. But on PC´s it just doesn't wanna work out. How strange is that!?
If anyone has a clue please let me know..
Best wishes!

try add return false; after the links (or was it true?), try false, if that doesnt work try true. Am not a fan of javascript so dont use it often.

The urls used in the movie need to be EDITED in the movie to fix them... However, as you have javascript: in the href, there shouldn't need to be a return false. Try using a better popUp script that uses a function (very similar, only I know it works in all cases, lol).
You might want to see if you can get the code working outside of Flash (demo page) and see if you're running into the same problem.

hmm, I just noticed those html/javascript links dont do anything, should they?
you have .... all the way until the end one then you have just links without the javascript but none of those links have a item to click on (should be something before the ).
