Flash Menu

[toeyt]

The web site that I am working on is having a very strange problem.

The site uses a flash menu. The menu links to home, reviews, an ezpage, and conditions.

If I go to the site with "www" in the URL, http://www.mydomain.la/ (this is not the real domain), the flash menu works fine.

But, if I go to the site with no www, http://mydomain.la/ , the flash menu doesn't work. Meaning when I clicked the menu, it doesn't go to the page. It just stays there at the homepage.

However, if I go to the web board which is installed in a sub directory of the site and use the same flash menu, http://mydomain.la/board/ , the menu works fine.

Also, if I open the flash directly with or without www, it also works fine.

All other text links also work fine.

Any ideas or have anybody experienced this?

What is specified as the path in your configure.php files? www or not

In configure.php, HTTP_SERVER is specified with www.

I just tried something and found that it has something to do with base href tag. If I removed base href tag out, the problem went away.
So, I did a search on the web and found some people are saying there is a security issue in newer flash player version.

Now, my question is can I change the code in html_header.php where it write base href tag to something like this:

Instead of using HTTP_SERVER variable defined in configure.php, it uses PHP server variable HTTP_HOST.

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? 'https://' . $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG :  'http://' . $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

Will this effect any other parts of the shopping cart?

Thanks!

That is just what manifests as visible - - Many others use flash and DO NOT alter this part of the code
Find the real/root issue and address it
