Using swLiveConnect in Netscape does not enable JavaScript and Flash communication

Issue


JavaScript communication and FS Commands in a Flash movie aren't working as expected in Netscape. However, in Internet Explorer, the movie functions as expected.

Reason


One possible cause of this problem may be using the tag"swLiveConnect=1" in the HTML code.

The tag swLiveConnect enables communication between JavaScript and a plug-in, in Netscape. It can accept a value of"true" or "false". As a habit, many programmers use the integer "1" in place of true. In many cases, this is acceptable. However, it will prevent swLiveConnect from starting the JavaScript/plug-in interface.

Solution


Use swLiveConnect=true.
