link won't work unless browser open?

[motionman95]

I have a text box that has a link in it. It opens and goes to the link in Mozzila only when it is open. What is wrong?

Can you paste a sample here? Thank you.

It's in html, and the code is like:

mytext = "<a href = "yahoo.com">Click Here!</a>

[SWFKit]

Please try to use

http://www.yahoo.com

on our computer this will always work either the browser has been opened or not.

I want to try this. I want to execute this script that is in vb:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
              Lib "shell32.dll" _
              Alias "ShellExecuteA"( _
              ByVal hwnd As Long, _
              ByVal lpOperation As String, _
              ByVal lpFile As String, _
              ByVal lpParameters As String, _
              ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
              ByVal nShowCmd As Long) _
              As Long

  Dim r As Long
  r = ShellExecute(0, "open", "http://www.microsoft.com", 0, 0, 1)

What is the swfkit code for that?
