Flash Player crashing on every code execution

Question

Every time I run this code my flash player (projector) is crashing.
function ftwoB(event:MouseEvent) {
     navigateToURL(new URLRequest("lessons/lesson2/reading"));
¿Any idea why? ¿Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm a windows user. I do have an imac on the side of me but know very little on sys admin on it. I just use it for iOS dev. But I am an admin level account. Is your account admin level? I'm not certain this factors in but sometimes I need to "run as admin" on windows to rule out any access issues.
Can you explain more about "what" is crashing? The projector? The browser the should be popping up?
Also I believe a projector auto-sets the sandbox it's in to access local files only but you might want to check that option. I believe the dropdown is at the bottom as soon as you open your publish settings and hit the flash tab (sorry I use FlashBuilder now). Make sure that's on access local files only.
Lastly you definitely should put your code (that you know is failing) in a try {} catch() {} block.
e.g.
function ftwoB(event:MouseEvent) {
    try
       navigateToURL(new URLRequest("lessons/lesson2/reading"));
    } catch (e) { }
Just to keep it from crashing. If the error is in flash it will catch it and excuse it without crashing.
Start trying other means of accessing the file (who's properties you've hopefully verified you have read access to).
e.g. navigateToURL(new URLRequest("./lessons/lesson2/reading/index.html"));
e.g. navigateToURL(new URLRequest("file:///C|/path/to/lessons/lesson2/reading/index.html"));
See if any other alternate means of accessing the file works. 
FYI I have no issue loading a local files. I made an extremely quick example that loads using your own code on my system. Just one button that procs that function and loads an index.html. I used a frame script to keep it simple and saved it down to CS4 as I don't know what version you use.
