Flash (swf) redirect?

[airforcematt]

Anyone have some code for a simple swf file that redirects to a set url?

Ran across this article that got me thinking of some possibilities.

Spammers bypass filters with SWF file redirects - SC Magazine US

I'm no flash programmer but I gave it a shot, toyed around with the navigateToURL function but was unable to get even the demo code to work either.

Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the command would be:

getURL("http://www.makemoniesonline.com")

I remember when these things were used!

My buddy and I used to use this years ago when Myspace started to take over peoples pages with an auto redirect to GNAA corporate homepage.

A 1px swf with no function as first which would allow your post to get accepted, then once it has you reupload the swf with the redirect in it. Those were some funny times.

getURL("http://www.makemoniesonline.com")

Tried that one - got a "no longer supported" error - it apparently has been replaced by the "navigateToURL()" function but I've been unable to get that to work either.

Are you working with Action Script 2.0? The GetURL should work...

Here's what I used to use back when I did redirects.
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self");

I just gave it a try and am getting some popup about changing settings in my flash player.

That is in AS 2.0. AS 3.0 is very different and i stopped working with flash right around its release.

Yeah I found a guide on how to do it using getURL - when I tried it though I got an error about how that function is no longer supported in the latest version of flash.

You want the navigateToURL() function for AS3.
