I have a .fla file which has buttons that are assigned to retrieve external movie clips. Each of the five external movie clips have buttons assigned to go to a URL. This works great when I publish on my system. I have placed all files pertaining to the flash program in one folder. I have no difficulty calling the movie clip. The URL’s do not work outside of my computer. Does anyone know why?

check your allowscriptaccess parameters if you've changed the default settings or you're embedding a swf from a different domain than the html file.

i've never heard of such a problem. many people have the opposite issue: the local files fail while the files served from the internet work.

sometimes people have problems with their popup blocker but that wouldn't explain your problem because you tested your files in your browser locally and it works as expected.

it's more likely you're doing something different than you're representing in your two posts. you should review what you're doing and ensure:

1. opening your html file locally results in new browser window opening after your buttons are clicked

2. opening that html file when it's on your online fails to open a new browser window despite your buttons loading correctly.

that works if you open your main swf's embedding html file in your web browser?

Yes you are correct. However; why don't the hyperlinks open on any other computer except for the the one I created it on?
