Hi there,
You won't be able to test this action from within Flash. You'll have to export the movie first, and then test. It's a pain in the butt, I know, but it's the only way to do it. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
Just keep exporting and testing whenever in doubt. Also, another good idea is to publish as HTML when in doubt, as well, since sometimes features of a web browser won't be available as features in the Flash Player.
hth,
Deep (just a guy)
