How do I export something that uses ActionScript 3.0 that works?

Question

I know that .swf is a format that doesn't work in most web browsers anymore because of no more flash player, but, when I use ActionScript 3.0 for an .fla document, I try to export and the result is an .swf file. I have no clue how to open this to work. I tried using the Flash Projector to make it work, but a button that I programmed does nothing. The button is meant to take the user to an external URL, but I either get an error message or nothing happens when I click on it. Why does this happen?

Are there other .swf players that it will work on, or is there a different format I can export ActionScript 3.0 on? I cannot use JavaScript HTML because this is a college assignment. I have to use ActionScript 3.0

you can't use swf's for anything interactive you're going to share.

if you want to create an air application (eg, mobile app or win or mac app), follow @JoãoCésar17023019's suggestions.

otherwise, you can use the file>export option to export several non-interactive file types.

or you're using the wrong document type.
