trivExitPage to Go to a Specific Page from Flash Not Working in IE8

[cpliu]

I use ExternalInterface.call("trivExitPage('pagename.htm l', true)"); to navigate to a different page from Flash. It works fine with employees using IE7 (which is the standard in the company). Some employees have newer version, and we found that navigation using trivExitPage does not work on IE8. ExternalInterface.call is not the problem as passing values using that works. Only the trivExitPage has problem.

Does anyone have similar issues with solutions?

thanks,

Hi there, I've had numerous issues with this in the past. Notably when a user zooms using the browser zoom, the trivExitPage function fails to fire. I have not tried using ExternalInterface.call I originally used the older method :

getURL("javascript:trivExitPage('pagename.html',tr ue)");

So in your case you can either try the getURL method instead of external interface, or as you quite rightly said it's most likely not an issue with external interface so you could bypass the trivExitPage function alltogether and just call direct url:

getURL(pagename.html); or include your _blank/true if you wish

Of course if you don't wish to call it direct and still wish to use your method you could try delaying the externalInterface.call by a second or so.. theory is the flash is trying to call the js function before the browser has fully loaded and initialised the javascript

Let me know if this helped, thanks!
