Hi gang!
Have you ever gotten a security warning when embedding a target blank link in a flash file?

Here's the code I have on a button:

---
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.i-achieve.ca", "_blank");
}
---

Here's the error I get when I click on the published file

Macromedia Flash Player Security

The following file is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:

www.url.com

To let this application communicate with the internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings.

Yeah its when your firewall picks it up the first time. Do what it says. You need to change the settings directly from the Macromedia website.

Will anyone else have that error too? Won't they think they're accessing a potential "contaminated" site?

So I guess there's no way around it right?

No you get that error only because you are running it locally trying to access the internet. Everyone else will actually be on the internet so they won't get the error. Thats just a local security warning. Upload your flash to your server and try it then you shouldn't get a warning.
