Hi,

I’ve made a hyperlink file, it works fine if i just run it in the flash player, or test it. But when i run it in the HTML file, it gives me a “Adobe Flash Security” error whereas it won’t let me go to the link.

Is there a way to fix this issue?

Here’s a quick link to my code:  
var url:String = “[http://www.coverallevents.blogspot.com](http://www.coverallevents.blogspot.com)”;  
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);  
navigateToURL(request, ‘\_self’);

Thanks,

Hazel (\>\_\<)
