same test under with the swf in c:\blog opens firefox and sends me to blogger.com
so it has a pattern
What i dunno is why it only does this when firefox opens for the first time. Why does it open two tabs? and why one tries to find a site with the path of your file (without the name of the file itself), but when it's opend it tries to find the name of the file itself or go to www.nameoffile.jpg or whatever extension you're using.
pretty interesting behavior

That's wierd.
I ran a similar test.
Made 1 button .swf that links to
picture.jpg in My Pictures folder
with getURL('picture.jpg');
click swf, click button
piture opens in FireFox as expected.

i forgot to mention, that i used getURL('this.jpg') but there was no this.jpg, so i forced the error by not putting the file there
yeah, when i put this.jpg there with the swf, it opens normally.
So, this firefox thingie is nice
But the original problem with phantomflanflinger is not firefox nor the flash player, it has to be that he's link points to an unexistent file.

LOL, that's what I said all along!!!
I think you got a broken linky there.
edit: yep, and once i rename that jpeg to break the link, it pulls up a blank window with one behind it about documents... i guess it just pulls up a related page to what it thinks your looking for... directory name... like you said argo.

asheep was right.
I tried about twenty links to existant files and five to nonexistant, makes no difference.
Firefox 1.06 (on this PC) misinterprets the command Flash Player sends to it. The reason I asked is a client wants a standalone Flash job I have to deliver as a swf and as a projector.
No matter what the filename, Firefox simply adds 'work' to the I'm feeling lucky URL, http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I...oe=UTF-8&q=
Although, it does try to go to www.filename.whatever if I put the swf and the target file in C:\

ok, just to put it simple - if flash player can't find the file it just takes and sends the whole broken path as it is to ff? am i right?
so what's the hubab all about then?

exactly.
the link goes in a tab behind whatever the default page is.
with FF closed.

try this: instead of getURL, load the pic inside a movieclip (as long as it is non progressive it should work) does it display? if not, then the problem is the paths, if it does display, then we have another type of problem.

The problem only happens with getURL, knew that.
I found ths problem quite interesting until I found the boringly logical explanation.
Anyway, maybe Firefox won't do it if Flash Player 8 is sending the command. We'll see.

I think this is not the fault of firefox, the webite has done something to promote or seems to be doorway pages in between.
