1. Re: navigateToURL not working on Mac Projector with Firefox as Default Browser
kglad Jul 9, 2010 8:08 AM (in response to Webshark2000)you're going to have problems with that because of a security sandbox issue. you should consider using adobe air if you plan to have other people use it.

Webshark2000 Jul 9, 2010 9:58 AM (in response to kglad)Sorry, I don't know anything about Air. The project is already completed in Flash. Is there no other solution?

kglad Jul 9, 2010 10:55 AM (in response to Webshark2000)everyone that hasn't already set flashplayer security settings will be warned about a security sandbox issue and allowed the option to allow your file to access another file on the internet. if they chose to not allow that, your url will not open.
that's your current option.
otherwise, you can publish for air (in your publish settings).

I need to look more into Air. I just don't know much about it at the moment. What are its benefits? Would the end users need to have it on their computers or will it be packaged into the EXE just like the Flash Player is?

I don't recall having set any security setting for Flash on my Mac (although it's possible I did at some point) and I didn't get any options, just a blank webpage. If I were to go back into the Flash settings on my Mac, I may be able to allow the projector to open a website even when Firefox is the default browser?Thanks.
