I had a problem with Firefox with this example.
As it turns out, opening a window with the ExternalInterface for
firefox doesn't work. The work around is to use
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(strURL);
try {
navigateToURL(request);
}
catch (e:Error) {
// handle error here
}
The above code seems to work well for opening a window and is less
affected by browsers incompatibility.
