JavaScript: code i've written (started on a Mac, finished on a PC) is working for Windows based machines but when viewed on a Mac in any browser it simply does not work.

www.skeetersnewjob.net is my personal portfolio for graduation in a few weeks and is where i'm dealing with this problem. I've got a CSS laid out page, using JavaScript to control links that tell a Flash MX 2004 swf what to do. (please take into account that the SWF movie is just a UBER LAME place holder)

the beaut-code (can also see it at http://www.skeetersnewjob.net/):


function labelJump(labelName)
{
document.movie.SetVariable("jump", labelName);
document.movie.TPlay("_level0");
}

/*
Jumping into a deeper movie clip
Mouse Event Handler

onClick="jumpSub('Photo', 'test')"

2 arugments (movieClip[Instance Name], Frame Label inside that movie clip)
onClick="jumpSub('Print', 'Broch')"
*/

function jumpSub(movieClip, labelName)
{
document.movie.SetVariable("jumpSub", labelName);
document.movie.TPlay("_level0/" + movieClip );
}


Now is there something I'm forgetting? Some kind of formatting? Error I've written in? Anything? I'm a bit frustrated, because it started out working on my Mac, went beautifully on the Window's machine I used at school, and now isn't doing a thing back on my Mac.

If anyone has a hint, tip, etc. i would be in your debt! (please take into account that the SWF movie is just a UBER LAME place holder)

Thanks!

I don't have an answer for you. Mostly because I have ActiveX disabled so nothing worked on your site. Nary a link.

I would suggest that you rethink your approach which uses all flash and ActiveX since there are many people such as myself that have these disabled to defend against the new breed of flash ad banners and trojan downloads.
