hi - just starting to use flash and wondered if Flash is capable of launching a default web browser with a link _if_ Flash is not running in a browser. so - no javascript…

so for example, i just want a flash file with a label or somethign on it that says:

“Hello”

and when you click it, it opens a window to send you to [http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)

Possible?
