I'm having an issue with Mac and a standard hyperlink. The link is to an audio file. When you click on the link it opens a blank window, which is fine but then it opens a second window and plays the audio in that one.

Why???? :confused:

Ghost in the Machine?

Post the source.. lez see if we can help.

Just the basic code...

on (release) {

  getURL("hart_audio_1.mov", "_blank");

}

Im gathering you are getting the double window problem from either your test environment or a published executable. The problem is that get URL is FIRST going to open a browser to execute the command in. It is THEN going to pass it a request. The request you are sending it is calleng for a new window (named blank) so the second window is popping. Change _blank to _self and see if that fixes it.

If you truly want it to pop a new window for the movie.. leave it as it is.. Once the SWF is embedded into a web page it will work correctly.

It's an audio file so the client insists that it open another window and play. The client hates that it opens 2 windows.

Is there anyway around using getURL? Some other code maybe?

You could import the MOV into its own Flash SWF and pop that.. Otherwise Im at a loss.

That sounds good. How would I do that?

import or import to library.. and then select your movie

Wouldn't it get rid of your QuickTime audio controls?

yes you would need to script them in flash.. using flash controls.

I understand the "request I'm are sending " through my actionscript but why do you think it's only happening on the Mac? Just curious.

no clue.. I am only a sporadic mac user.
