Flash redirect url

[Esseti]

How can I redirect the user to a different address, w/o him clicking on it and his browser not blocking it as a popup? Basically after some event, I want to automatically go to a different website w/o the users interaction, but when I use a simple URLRequest with navigateToURL, every browser blocks it as a popup.

Can it be done?

I'm not sure what you have done wrong?

I made a project with standard flash export settings and it worked directly?
I've tried it locally and on a live server.

Here is the code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var buttonA:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
this.addChild(buttonA);


buttonA.graphics.lineStyle(3,0x00ff00);
buttonA.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
buttonA.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
buttonA.graphics.endFill();
buttonA.x = stage.stageWidth/2-buttonA.width/2;
buttonA.y = stage.stageHeight/2-buttonA.height/2;


buttonA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, traceCall);


function traceCall(e:MouseEvent)
{
    trace("button called");
    
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));
}

if you want to use the same web page, the site is blocked trying the fla locally, but do work live on a server.

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"), "_self");

Gaaah! I dunno what happened, but now it works. Maybe it's because I forgot to add "_self", and the browser interpreted it as a popup.

Either way, thank you very much Insiu! ;]
