NavigateToURL not working on Mac Projector with Firefox as Default Browser

I'm making a CD with both a PC (exe) and Mac (app) projector file on it. I have a button that navigates the user to our client's website with the following code:
var webBtnURL:String = "http://www.clientswebsiteURL.com";
web_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoWebsite);
function gotoWebsite(e:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(webBtnURL), "_blank");
This works perfectly on the PC projector file, with either Firefox or IE as the default browser. However, I've found that if Firefox is the default browser on the Mac side, it just opens Firefox and navigates to a blank page. If Safari is the default browser it works fine. The Mac I was testing this on was a PowerPC instead of an Intel Mac, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but it had the latest version of Firefox on it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I need to look more into Air. I just don't know much about it at the moment. What are its benefits? Would the end users need to have it on their computers or will it be packaged into the EXE just like the Flash Player is?

everyone that hasn't already set flashplayer security settings will be warned about a security sandbox issue and allowed the option to allow your file to access another file on the internet. if they chose to not allow that, your url will not open.
I don't recall having set any security setting for Flash on my Mac (although it's possible I did at some point) and I didn't get any options, just a blank webpage. If I were to go back into the Flash settings on my Mac, I may be able to allow the projector to open a website even when Firefox is the default browser?
Thanks.

Flash Player 9 not working on Mac OS X (Firefox and Safari)

Hello,
I run an Intel-based Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.9. Latest Firefox
(2.0.0.4) and Safari browsers.
Everything seems to be fine when I install Flash Player 9.
Until the install software brings up my default browser (Firefox)
to "adobe's successful installation screen" where I don't get the
message, rather I get the message I must install Flash Player...
and there we go again.
I've tried installing it 3 times, rebooting everytime;
I tried uninstalling it, reboot, and installing it again X2;
Now I don't know what to do... can anyone help me please?
Thank you!!

I have the EXACT same problem. i cannot find a solution, this
is the first post ive read where someone has the exact same
problem. Mac powerbook g4, powerPC processor, OSX Tiger, Firefox.
Flash was working fine up until today for me.
Now movies give me the message;you must have adobe flash
player 9 installed'. when i try to install player it finishesthe
install then brings up Firefox Adobe page, which says additional
plugins are needed, when i click on the plugins install, it takes
me thru the install then says 'failed' with the option to install
manually, which takes me back to the original download page. i have
tried untinstalling, restarting, changing internet plug.

ButtonMode Not Working in Mac Projector

When I Publish Application in Mac projector Using Flash CS6 on Mac System.It does Not show handCursor or buttonMode On Button?
Can Any one Suggest me How can I Solve This Problem...

Same issue here. In addition the buttons are disabled when playing back in fullscreen mode. Makes no difference whether a swf (fp11.4.402) or using a Mac projector.
Don't have old versions of fp on a new machine to test for fp bugs.

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??

Cannot open url within Mail with Firefox as default browser

just started happening - Safari as default browser does work - but changing back to Firefox as my default - browser opens but doesn't open page.
any ideas would be appreciated

Works here, but you should quit Mail before changing in the Safari Preferences, and then relaunch Mail so it will pick up the change.

Does Firefox not work on Mac PPC paltform

I am trying to find out if Firefox 5 does not work on Mac PPC platform.

*Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
*Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
* http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
*Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

I have a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows. I recently switched over to MAC OS and would like to move my Adobe X Pro over but the CD will not work for Mac OS? Can anyone assist me with this conversion? Best, James.

Best,
James.

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Actually i wrote simple applets and those are working well.
So i did debug the code and i found that when i am running the following code in Apple MAC IE, nothing is happening in handleEvent method. Especially it is not going into the if statement (if (evt.id==401)). here i am checking for KEY_PRESS. I also tried with keyDown method but same problem in MAC IE.
I am pasting the code that is giving me problem.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class testApplet extends Applet
public void init()
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
editableArea = new EditableArea();
editableArea.setBackground(Color.yellow);
add("Center", editableArea);
EditableArea editableArea;
import java.awt.*;
public class EditableArea extends Canvas
String s = "";
public boolean handleEvent(Event evt)
if (evt.id==401)
if(evt.key >= 32 && evt.key <= 255)
char c = (char)evt.key;
s = s + c;
repaint();
return super.handleEvent(evt);
public void paint( Graphics g )
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawString( s,5,15);

IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code. It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30. When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19. I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem. I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working. Works fine on my iPhone.

There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.
