Cant get FLASH component to appear on 2nd visit to a popup layer!!

**steve_scott** · 26 October 2010, 04:27 AM

Hi all...I've been a long time reader of this forum and found it fantastic...but cant find an answer to this nasty little problem...which is most likely of my own making!!

In short, I have a place holder that links to a flash component. It can be seem in this (not yet finished) demo made with XWD6:

http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/dps...demo/index.htm

Click on the "FUELS" image...up comes a popup layer...short delay and flash fades in.

Close the popup (with the red box icon on the top right of the Fuels window)

Open this popup again from the main screen and the flash never appears????

Any help or link to another post with a solution will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve

I think this has come up before and it's an IE issue [the Flash works OK here in Firefox] but could you post your .web file for people to check please?

Hi John - yes I vaguely remember reading a thread on this some time ago...but cannot find it anywhere!!! Attached is the .webfile

Many thanks for offering to take a look!!

Can't check .swf of course [too early in the a.m. for me!] but nothing covering placeholder for instance. Tested your Flash successfully in FF, Chrome and Opera ... only in IE8 [here] does it fail.

Perhaps someone with IE9 can test ??

ooops!! Have attached the animation file as well...thanks for your help so far John!!

I think I'll just go back to my original design where I move to a new page rather than a popup...I had moved away form this to the popup option as it makes for a smoother (no page load) transition...but cant have it so content can only be read once!!
