What to do if your links from Flair SWF files in HTML pages no longer work
The Issue

In Adobe Flash Player 9 update 3, linking does not work properly when the calling Flash Player movie (SWF) file is located in a different domain than its hosting HTML page.  An exception to this issue is when the target name is "_blank" or the HTML parameter AllowScriptAccess is set to "always." 

This issue may prevent some SWF files from changing a user's web browser location.  It may also interfere with attempts by the SWF file to execute JavaScript style URLs within the context of the hosting page or other frames within that page.

What to do?

If you are writing the HTML code yourself (or using an HTML editor) set the HTML parameter AllowScriptAccess to "always."

If you are using the HTML output  from Flair you need to set the script access in the HTML tab of the export settings window to “Always.” Here’s how to do this.

In the View menu open the Settings Window.

Go to the Export tab and click on the HTML tab. Check the “Export HTML” box.

This will produce an HTML file with the code to embed the Flash SWF output in a web page. Simply copy that HTML into whatever page you wish. Flair will automatically fill in the name and path for this output HTML file, or you may click the "Browse" button to open a file dialogue box to select the output name and path.

Make sure that “Export active content code” box is also checked. This will export the .js active content code to address potential issues with the Flash player in Internet Explorer caused as a result of changes made by Microsoft. This file must be placed in the same location as the HTML file that plays the SWF output.

In the Flash SWF Options of the HTML tab, select “Always” from the Script Access dropdown menu.
