Hi Pablo, This is most probably a bug, which should be getting fixed in the upcoming release of AIR.
You can get the full blog entry for this problem at http://srinivasannam.wordpress.com/ Check the below code for a simple workaround. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"> <mx:HTML id="htmlComp" width="100%" height="100%" location="http://www.adobe.com" complete="addEventListenersToLinks (event)" /> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function addEventListenersToLinks (e:Event):void { var dom:Object = e.currentTarget.domWindow.document; var links:Object = dom.getElementsByTagName("a"); for(var i:Number = 0; i < links.length; i++) { if(links[i].target.toLowerCase () == "_blank" || links[i].target.toLowerCase() == "_new") links[i].onclick = linkClickHandler; } } private function linkClickHandler(o:Object):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest (o.currentTarget.href),"blank"); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:WindowedApplication> Thanks and Regards Srinivas Annam --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Pablo Godel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am trying to use the HTML component to load an external website into > an Adobe AIR app. It works fine, but if the website has a link or > button that opens a popup window, the window never opens. > > Any idea if this is supported and how to solve the problem? > > Thanks > Pablo >
