Hi folks,
I found this thread because we're having the same problem of
being able to view an .exe file of our project but not the .htm
when trying to access an Internet URL from our project.
After reading about the security issue concept, I tried ours
again and fell upon a Flash message to the effect that "Flash
Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation..." indicating
that our "local application was trying to communicate with an
Internet-enabled location" and telling me to click on the Settings
button included with the text. This in turn led me to the page
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/
and from there to the Global Security settings Panel.
On that page, it displays your own Adobe Flash Player
Settings Manager and advises you of what to do to establish a valid
development environment to properly test your results (seems the
links WOULD work if published to the Web, but who wants to just
take that on faith ;o). We added our development folder path to the
Always Allow group and ... voila! ... the .htm files are now
properly linking to the URLs we specified.
Thanks so much for the "security settings" heads up!
Sure hope this helps you too,
Gail
