405804 - FlashPlayer 9.0.64 compability

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Heiko Weible]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.23 (Windows NT 5.1; U; de)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10

The latest version of the Flash Player (FlashPlayer 9.0.64) isn't completely compatible with Firefox. When I open a new window using JavaScript and ActionScript 2.0, it is blocked by the popup-blocker, even if it's in response to a click of the user.

You can open an new window using Flash and JavaScript as long as it's in response to a click of the user. Here is an example:
myButton.onRelease=function()
{
	getURL("javascript:window.open('NewWindow.html','myNewWindow')");
}
A lot of sites use this behaviour (for example the ActionScript 2.0-Version of the YouTube-Player).

Will this issue be fixed?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Execute this ActionScript 2.0 Code:
myButton.onRelease=function()
{
	getURL("javascript:window.open('NewWindow.html','myNewWindow')");
}
Actual Results:  
Popup gets blocked

Expected Results:  
A window that is opened in response to a click of the user shouldn't be blocked.

This is a problem that you need to report to Adobe so they can correct it in Flash.
