Flash: getURL not working!

by: Francisco C on October 29 2008

Ever run into that? Such a simple function made me feel like a complete nooob. Until i did  a bit of research.

Apparently FP9 no longer alows getURL or navigateToURL (as3) due to security issues.

Read more about the "getURL not working" issue on Adobes Website.

Obviously if you haven't published your movie for FP9 you can use the following for lower versions of Flash Player: 

If your using the default object HTML tags, simply add the following parameter to your code:

AllowScriptAccess="always"

If you are using swfObject then use:

so.addParams("AllowScriptAccess", "always")

When I'm not at work designing, or cracking my skull trying to write code, my second passion is photography. I've shot sports, nightclubs, landscapes, wildlife, models, still life, journalism, products, almost anything for the experience.
