Flash can’t window.open in Safari
I am trying to open a new browser window from an embedded Flash application, calling window.open using ExternalInterface. Simple enough, except that it doesn’t work in Safari. After a little while tearing my hair out, I found out that it’s a Safari bug - popups are blocked in this case, even though the Flash is responding to a user initiated event. But I found a lovely, easy solution here - go back to the Flash and use flash.net.navigateToUrl.
‘tearing my hair out’… lol!
