Click Box not opening URL, only in Preview

I have set my click Boxes to Open in a New Window, but they only work in Preview Mode.  When I publish to SWF they don't open and the project remains static.  I have turned pop-up blocker off in both IE and Chrome.  HELP!!!!

Thanks, Rick.  But, unfortunately, DriveKey is not a choice in my C-Drive


LOL you are being too literal. You need to navigate to the folder where you are testing the content from. So where you see "DriveKey" in that video, you choose the folder where YOUR SWF is placed.

Cheers... Rick

You said "when I publish to SWF," are you testing the SWFs on a webserver, or opening the HTML/SWF files locally?

In this case, I believe you're testing browser functionality that won't be triggered if the files are opened directly in a browser with FILE:/// vs. via a HTTP:// URL from a web server.

I am opening the swf via html launch file from my local/c drive.

The Flash Player typically blocks access to these links until you massage the settings.

It is a 'https', a protected site: are you sure it can be opened by any means?

Yes, in fact it opens in preview mode, just not after it has been published as SWF.
