Re: FLASH: Troubl with Execs and Netscape

[Helen Triolo]

Mark,


We're talking about Flash standalone exe's, not swf's run in a browser. 

Do you mean that if you run a Flash 4 exe on your PC that has a getURL

link in it, the link opens Netscape rather than IE?  If so, I'd love to

know how you achieved it!
