How can I redirect the user to a different address, w/o him clicking on it and his browser not blocking it as a popup? Basically after some event, I want to automatically go to a different website w/o the users interaction, but when I use a simple URLRequest with navigateToURL, every browser blocks it as a popup.

Can it be done?
