unofrtunately it doesnt seem to - both facebook and instagram open in browser not the app

the code i am using is
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.facebook.com/username"));

why not just direct them to the web profile?

that way the user doesn't need to have instagram installed for the link to work

Yes and if you have the app installed it should fire it up with a deep link automatically.
