If you're running local-with-filesystem, maybe you should use AIR instead?

We're doing this as a workaround, because our local-with-filesystem swf isn't allowed to launch an http url directly, and ExternalInterface keeps giving us security sandbox issues. The above code works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the parameter "URLTO" is not shown in the URL address bar and could not be accessed through javascript. Can I work around this? Or, is there a better to do what I'm trying to do? Thanks, Roy
