Response to my question about character limits in Flash URL link field.

Posted September 27, 2004

Well, when I had this problem three days ago I posted on the Macromedia Flash forums. I did get one reply that said that there is a character limit for the URL address in Internet Explorer upwards of 2000 characters. But he didn’t think there was any managing of that in Flash.

I think he may have misunderstood me though, and said I should use a quotes in my getURL calls. Well, I am just using a plain text link, but to fix the problem until a later date, I added an invisible button.
