Flash Not Opening Url As Intended

Asked by InstructionalDesigner in ActionScript, Adobe Flash, Multimedia Programming

Tags: Flash Actionscript 2.0 getUrl

I am using an image scroller (similar to iTunes Album flow). The flash file sets up the stage and the scroll bar, and points to an XML file. The XML file lists each image along with a URL. When the user clicks on the URL, a new web browser should open taking the user to a site on the Internet. I am trying to run the published files from a CD Rom and also from a thumb drive. On some computers the new browser opens as designed, but on other computers nothing happens when the user clicks on the image - no error message or anything.

I am using actionscript 2.0 and have the publish setting on Flash 9. On one computer that works, I have Flash player 9 installed, while on another computer that doesn't work I have version 10. I have tested this in several browsers, including IE, Firefox, and Safari. It worked in all of them (on one computer). On the computers where it doesn't work, they are all using IE version 6 or 7. It works on my computer using IE version 6.

I tried to attach a zip file containing my files, but it didn't like the accompanying javascript file or XML file. I will gladly share my code or files with you if needed.
