[SOLVED] Adobe Flex Problems with Deep Linking and IE 10

Adobe Flex Problems with Deep Linking and IE 10

I am attempting to implement deep linking in my Flex 4.6 app running in FP 11. The only functionality I am looking for now is for the forward/back button to work.

In Firefox everything works great, but in IE 10 w/o compatibility mode once you hit the back button it stips the #fragmentValue off the url, thus breaking the forward/back functionality. If I hit forward it will not put the #fragmentValue back on the URL. If compatibility mode is on everything works fine.

Has anyone gotten this to work correctly? It really isnt a feasible feature if we cant support IE > 9.

Thanks for any help

Solution

We had this problem when used default history.js from FlashBuilder. The problem in logic of browser version definition:

if (useragent.indexOf("msie") != -1) {
        browser.ie = true;
        browser.version = parseFloat(useragent.substring(useragent.indexOf('msie') + 4));
        if (browser.version == 8)
        {
            browser.ie = false;
            browser.ie8 = true;
        }
    }

So, all IE greater than 8 will be defined as "less than 8"! We changed this to:

browser.version >= 8

And now it works fine!
