How do I get standalone Flash to open web page?

[ierrogh546]

I'm finishing up big Flash project and one thing is holding us up. The SWF will be burned onto memory sticks and handed out as promotion, so it's a standalone app. They need to click on a button and have their browser open up and go to the company's web site. I have a simple navigatetoURL command attached to the button. This works fine when testing in Flash, but when running in Flash Player trips the security process which denies Flash access to Internet. Of course, one can change Settings and force the file access, but we don't want to put users to that trouble. Any ideas? I'm developing CS3 on OSX imac.

Standalone apps (projectors) do not have security enforced. Make sure the "local playback security" in the "publishing settings" is set to "access network only".

Try

on (release)
{
getURL("

http://www.google.co.uk",

_blank)
}

Always worked for me when I was doing something similar
