Wow thats super strange. its just a simple getURL (open a new browser window
with your content)... that has nothing to do with a policy file - you aren't
loading data from another domain into your swf on your own domain (this is
where a policy file - or a proxy file will help).

It fails for me when I use getURL("http://www.adobe.com";, "_blank"); in
a Flash 7 .swf file running with the Flash 7 player in Firefox or IE
installed on my machine.

My HTML looks like this:

<p>
  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflas
h.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="798" height="58">
    <param name="movie" value="menu.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <embed src="menu.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="798" height="58"></embed>
  </object>
</p>

I get the error from the player, "This file is attempting to
access..."etc.
