Open Multiple URL's at Once

[Sleepstalker]

I just got the flash player plugin and I was hoping to make a menu for an intranet site at work that I've got reports going to every morning, but I can't seem to get the flash player object to open more than one url at once. What I'm trying to do is make it so that people can just click buttons for reports and have them all open, for example a "Backup Exec Job Summaries" button that when clicked opens all the job summary reports for the Backup Exec servers in new tabs. If I assign multiple open url in new window statements to the flash player object on a button click, it only opens up the last page in the list. Is there a way to do this or is this restricted by some flash security feature?

It seems to work if you use separate events. eg:

Timer = 0.01 --> Open URL 1
Timer = 0.02 --> Open URL 2

Did you actually build the swf file? When I do application run in Multimedia Fusion it works, but when I build the swf file and copy it to the web server it does not work. I've tried internet explorer and firefox, made sure popups were allowed from the site, and made it a trusted site, but still only the last url in the set gets opened.

Works fine for me as a swf file in Opera and Chrome.

Can you tell me how you set everything up in mmf2? I'm not very familiar with the timer; I tried using the timer yesterday by setting some actions to a button click to set the timer to certain times (1 second, 2, and 3 seconds). I than set the timer is equal to a certain value on three lines each set to one of the second values and with the flash object set to open url in new tab. As soon as I did application run it opened all three sites immediately instead of waiting for the button click. I'm guessing the timer starts running as soon as the app starts?

Yes,that is correct Sleepstalker. The timer starts immediatly.

??? So is there a way to do what I want using the timer or some other way?

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you want to open an URL a second after the user clicks, you could do this, for example:

1) User clicks: set counter to 1
2) Counter is greater than 0 + Every 1 second: add 1 to counter
3) Counter is 2(or 3 or 4 or whatever) -> Open URL
