Flash in Mac OSX dashboard widgets

Question

We're at a dead-end!
We've successfully integrated remote flash into a dashboard
widget. Actualy, making the flash remote, and changing all click
events to onRollOver is the only way to do it (that we've found).
And this works *great* for navigation inside a flash movie.
The problems come when trying to link out of that movie to launch a
Safari broswer page -- the same way Dashboard's custom java call
does. We've tried sending a java call back to a function in
dashboard's local HTML that triggers the appropriate
widget/javascript function -- and that's what throws the security
error.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

are you trying to simply get a safari page to open or are you
trying to get a page to appear inside the dashboard?
If you just want safari to load in OSX, why not use getURL???
If you want it to always use the java callback as it does in
most widgets, it may be more of an OSX issue. You may want to check
on security issues on apple's developer site to see what rights or
privledges you need to grant flash access to the same rights or
privs other widgets already have.
