I’m creating a CD for a client that contains a Flash executable. getURL does not work with a local file on the CD. Normally, get URL works only if the SWF is embedded inside an HTML page, or if you specify “http://” or “mailto:”
I don’t want to launch an HTML window online, I want to launch an HTML file that’s on the CD. If I do this:
getURL(“map.htm”, “_blank”);
It does nothing because the browser isn’t open and it doesn’t know to launch it.
The real way to pull up this file would be by using the “file://” protocol, but using this would require me to know what the user’s CD-ROM Drive letter is. Their drive could be D:, E:, F:, any number of things.
So how do I use “getURL()” to launch an HTML file on the CD?
