Ok i've partly solved it...

Is this line needed in preview.php?

<script type="text/javascript" src="%TEMPLATEPATH%common_html5/js/swfobject.js"></script>

Taking it out solves the issue for me...

so now if you replace preview.php with the attached file which does nothing but is valid XHTML then I don't see the problem any more so it must be the preview page... there are a lot of XHTML Transitional errors in edit.php and a couple on preview but i've fixed these now and still not working...

Can either of you confirm that using this preview.php file remeve the issue from the editor?

Has this mostly happened post the upload successful button was added?

I think the button click event isn't firing properly in flash?

When I last did a lot of flash stuff, Firefox always went wrong on the object's depth properties

So the plot thickens... As you know I couldn't reproduce this on Friday and it seems that it was because of what I was doing...

When the editor window was opening I was MOVING the window so that I could see the workspace too and it seems that this change of focus from the Flash to the actual window was in some way doing something to the problem but this morning I was able to reproduce the problem this morning though because I wasn't doing anything to the window after clicking preview...

Please watch this screencast ( http://screencast.com/t/38tpOLopLs ) and you'll see the button not working in exactly the same way that you all described but then simply resizing the window slightly makes it work again... now it's not a focus issue because simply clicking on the window border or the window header which would change focus away from the Flash wizard doesn't fix it... but resizing does. But only until you preview again and then you need to resize again...

I have no idea why this is happening but will continue to have a play around with various things to see if I can come up with a fix...

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Re: wizard files and modules

I looked into this further as well, and I've got it working (sort of). The original problem is beyond our control. Something gets changed by showing and closing the preview. I concentrated on the call to popup preview:

Where url is 'preview.php&template_id=4'

getURL("javascript:NewWindow = window.open('"<javascript:NewWindow=window.open('><javascript:NewWindow=window.open('><javascript:NewWindow=window.open('> + url + "','previewwindow','height=" + this.template_height+ ",width=" + this.template_width+ ",linkID=" + tree.selectedNode.attributes.linkID+ "'); NewWindow.focus(); setunload(); void(0);");

What I did:
1. I changed the code to do exactly the same but in a different way:

- From flash call: ExternalInterface.call("openPreview", url, this.template_height, this.template_width);
- Supply javascript function in edit.php that does:

   function openPreview(url, height, width)
   {
       NewWindow = window.open(url, 'previewwindow', 'height=' + height, ',width=' + width);
       NewWindow.focus();
   }

This behaves exactly the same, as in,  it doesn't work. After closing preview, the file browser doesn't pop up any more.

2. So, different approach, without using javascript:

- From flash call: getURL(url, "_blank")

This has as a drawback (or advantage) that the preview is shown in a new window/tab in stead of a popup, and so it ignores/doesn't use the sizes of the window.

BUT it does work!

Is that a viable solution? For firefox only?

Tested the file button, and debugged the FileRef.browse and got Function, so it does exist, before FileRef.browse is called.

Took out all but the void(0) and still failing. Have stripped down the function to this.

I don’t think it is our code. Going for beer.

I'd be cautious of saying it is preview - perhaps it is the file button?

try not setting focus? that seems a possible route?

It boils down to this:
