[SWFObject] Express Install Issues - xiRedirectUrl & IE

[Azimuth New Media]

I.E. issues redirect....on PC.

I have mentioned it before, but I was having issues with redirect with express install not taking me back to the Flash page - it turned out to be MS's firewall blocking completion of the procedure - unfortunately MS's firewall doesn't tell you - so it had be stumped for a while - obviously this raises concerns for those using this device - it will kick in quietly if the user has 'do not allow exceptions' ticked.

I have put on my installations 'You May Need to Disable Your Firewall to Complete the Installation'.

Of course this could have been unique to me, and I haven't done any further testing...and I haven't had any other reports, thus far....but just wanted to relay my experience...

  you only need to use the xiRedirectUrl var if you want to send them somewhere other than the page the flash movie is on. if they will be coming back to the same page, you don't need to use it.


  since there were some issues with the redirect this past week, you should clear out your browser cache and maybe even reboot so your computer will flush the DNS servers, then try it out.


  is anyone else still having problems with ie + expressinstall?

    Hello...

    Michael... thanks for fixing the IE issue with the installer.

    But, there might still be a problem with the MMredirectURL variable (swfObject's 'xiRedirectUrl' variable) not being read for IE browsers...

    When I use it in Firefox, the redirect works beautifully... but when testing in IE (6) the standard Adobe Flash Player page (http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/index.html) is shown.

    Thanks...
