Links to a webpage work when its a .SWF but when i publish it as a .HTML the links stop working

Report · May 18, 2015

i have a dynamic text box which contains some text to act as a label and under its options in the Link area i have a web address and the target is _blank.

when i click the link when its a .SWF it works fine and open up the webpage but when i publish it as a .HTML the links don't work at all i have tried using buttons with getURL, URLRequest. and all of them worked as a .SWF but not as a .HTML

is there another way i can do this?

is there a way to make what I am currently doing work while its a .HTML?

i need this desperately to meet a deadline so any help would be appreciated, i am using flash cs4 professional, and action script 2

you probably have a sandbox security issue.

upload your html/swf to a file server and test. or, change your security settings (Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Security Settings panel), and test locally.
