HTML/Flash: flash text doesn't work in opera

[dolor]

I'm having trouble with some flash text on my website. The text is linked and the link works in Mozilla and IE, but not Opera.

It's not been uploaded so I'm still working on the local network, so I noticed that when I click the link in IE, the link goes to "C:\My Documents...", but in Opera and Mozilla it goes to "C:\My%20Documents..."

So the difference is the "%20", so how do I fix this so it works in Opera?

There is no difference between the two, %20 represents a space. Both should go to the same page.

I use Opera ONLY and flash works fine in it. I have a TON of spaces in my folders when I'm working on it too.

You're probably just doing something wrong.

i think ive figured it out. i just dont think opera is finding the file because the page is still on my HD and not a server. there may be some small issues with that when it comes to opera, but it should be fine once i upload it. btw: dont get me wrong, i still love opera, but i'm finding a lot more bugs in it now that im writing javascript and actionscript.

My last site was about 90 pages or so on my hard drive and all worked flawlessly within opera before and after I uploaded them.

IE will make up for a programmer's screwups with its quirks engine and Mozilla trys to emulate this but not very well. Opera also trys to emulate this behavior but it doesn't work the same as IE. if you develop standards complient Java Script, it should work fine. Hell developers for Opera work and write tutorials FOR the w3c, so standards are important to them.

If you're trying to use ActionScript to modify my windows and such for Opera (it's the only reason your ActionScript may not work), then I hate you.

There are a lot of habitual errors I made when writing JS which I've had to correct myself on. When I wrote for IE I always used name attributes, used document.all etc. Dolor, if you have problems just ask, or sign up on js-x.com/forum dedicated totally to JavaScript.
