Cannot Open URL from SWF

I'm sure this has been covered and that the solution is
simple, but I am at a loss.
I cannot get a URL to open from my SWF file using either a
click box or button, although it works perfectly fine when I
publish to an EXE.
Is there an internet security option that would affect this?
I have no problem opening other movies or files.
This is most frustrating. Any suggestions?

Hi tykebrahe
What are the
exact steps you are following? In addition to knowing about
them, what is the
exact URL you are typing?
It's been my experience that this works just fine from either
.SWF output or .EXE output. But I'm hopeful that knowing the
answers to my questions may help you to resolve the issue.
Cheers... Rick

  • Cannot open URL from Adobe Reader (10.1.8)

    My PDF contains a URL which is not standard http format, but is file://.
    Adobe Reader identifies it to be a URL (hand cursor shows up), but nothing happens when clicking on it.
    In fact, we have 3 systems (colleagues) with varied behavior. One one it works - brings up the file pointed by the URL.
    One another one, it pops up a security related warning (with Block or Allow button). Clicking Allow still does nothing - so fails there.
    On my system, it just does nothing..
    I tried comparing through the Preferences (Security related, General etc), can't really see any difference..
    Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
    Thanks,
    Sudarshan

    It's always the first thing to try: if an older version doesn't work correctly, first try the latest version before doing lots of other stuff.

  • Open url from xchat in opera

    I'd like to open urls from xchat in opera.
    Under settings>advanced>url handler:
    !opera -remote 'openURL(%s)'
    xchat has tcl as an optional dep, so I installed that.
    This is in xfce4 and I have set opera as the preferred browser.

    Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
    The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
    The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
    That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

  • Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

    Hi OTN,
    Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
    In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
    Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
    But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
    ADF 11.1.1.4
    Thanks.

  • I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP.  I cannot open Bridge from photoshop, whichI have done for years. When I am in Photoshop,when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen, and it puts me into bridge. This is not happen

    I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years.  When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but  the problem remains. Looking for help.  Dan

    Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge.  This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge.  At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu.  The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal.  This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts.  I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens.       And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5.  Thank you for your help.  Dan

  • 3.6.13 OS MAC 10.6.6 - cannot open url within Mail with Firefox as default browser

    new iMac (March '10) - no problem til last week - as above - when
    Firefox is my default browser cannot open url's form within Mail.
    OK when I change over to Safari - but going back to Firefox same issue.
    Firefox browser opens but the page does not load....
    any suggestions?

    I have the same issue. One interesting piece of info is if you quit FireFox (go to dock > right click on firefox icon > quit) Mail will then launch the link into FireFox properly. Somehow though users actions must cause it to fail again. My wife uses our iMac more than I do for email, so I haven't been able to re-create what she is doing to lose the Mail > Firefox functionality. Almost sounds like an OS X bug??

  • I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu

    I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu. this happened last night. IE will open and functions properly. I have the latest version of firefox installed. thank you

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Cannot open stream from Axis camera

    I'm a newbie in JMF, I'm using JMStudio trying to open a stream from an Axis IP camera.
    I get the following error code:
    UNABLE_CREATE_PLAYERjavax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for :http://192.168.52..../axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480*
    I can open from the player only mp3 files, if I try to open standard avi files (like clock.avi under windows directory) I can hear only sound but no videos.
    I think I've a sort of codec problem
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks

    My goal is to save stream from camera to a file.
    I thought that open url could retrieve a mjpeg streamYou can only open URLs if JMF has a DataSource associated with the protocol prefix.
    Protocol prefix means "http", "https", "file", "ftp", etc... the stuff you see before "://" normally.
    JMF can open URLs that use rtp, rtsp, and file by default. It does not do http streaming.
    I tryed also with rtp session but I cannot establish any connection (I can do that with a software like VLC)
    Is that possible? What am I doing wrong?How the hell should I know know what you're doing wrong? All you said was you tried to do something, didn't explain what you did! What you did wrong was not suceeding, that's the advise I can give you based on the information you've given me!
    If your camera supports RTP streaming, and its RTP implementation is compatible with JMF's implementation... and it streams a format JMF can understand, and its format implementation is compatible with JMF's format implementation, then JMF should be able to receive the RTP stream.
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html]
    JMF supports opening MJPEG files, but doesn't list MJPEG_RTP as a supported format. It supports JPEG_RTP, but those aren't the same thing.
    So maybe you can receive an MJPEG_RTP stream with JMF, but, it isn't listed as being supported by JMF...
