Ever run into that? Such a simple function made me feel like a complete nooob. Until i did a bit of research.
Apparently FP9 no longer alows getURL or navigateToURL (as3) due to security issues.
Read more about the “getURL not working” issue on Adobes Website.
Obviously if you haven’t published your movie for FP9 you can use the following for lower versions of Flash Player:
If your using the default object HTML tags, simply add the following parameter to your code:
AllowScriptAccess=”always”
If you are using swfObject then use:
so.addParams(”AllowScriptAccess”, “always”)
I’m a bad blogger. haha, I have so many trips that i haven’t blogged about! like, Thailand, Telescope Peak hiking, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, The Grand Tetons, Banff NP, Columbia Icefields…. but hey! It’s a sneak peak 
into what will come out of me :). All of these photos are taken by Yohana and Alvaro. I didn’t bring my camera
So here we go Death Valley’s Telescope Peak October Hike:
This weekend two brave soul’s and I ventured into an adventure we had already completed during the summer expecting it to be similar, which it was…. Until we got to Mahogany Flats. Yes, we started seeing small drops of ice, oh yea. SNOW! So as we are getting closer to the top we didn’t expect that much snow! or snow period! aaaaah!
Our descent up the hill towards the trailhead was exiting! The 60 degree hill was rough! covered in 3-6 inches of snow! I’m driving the 4Runner up the hill, then suddenly we get stuck! No problem time to kick in the 4 wheel drive. I started in H4 made good ground then bam! Got stuck again! I let alvaro drive the rest, he popped it into L4 and bam! Stuck again! So we had to do manual road construction 
So after a few minutes of digging through the snow and shoving rocks under the tires we managed to make it up the hill. It was extremely cold, totally not what we expected. It was about 1:30am and it was around 20 Degrees. Yes Very cold, we looked around the sites and alvaro suggested to camp out in the snow, I opposed and we slept in the car.
We woke up around 8 am, freezing of course… Ate breakfast and headed towards the trailhead.
WOW! I saw this video once, and though i'd never find it ever again. Today! I found it!
Some creative guy here!
Ever heard the phrase “Paradise on earth” ? Well that’s what this trip was like…
In the remote canyon of Arizona lies a trailhead to paradise, nearest city i beleive is Kingman. If you ever see photos of havasu falls you’ll think, wow thats beutiful… If you see the trail head you’ll say…oh Cool…just like the Grand Canyon…and assume there’s no paradise here……WRONG!
Let’s start off by saying that it took us 7 hours to get there…we arrived on saturday at around 6am…we waited till about 9am to start our hike down… It must have been around 28 degrees…so cold there was snow on the trail…
From the trailhead to the Supai village is about 8 miles, and from the village to the falls it’s 2 miles. 10 mile hike total. Having done the Bright Angel and the Kaibab trail i though i was in for another challenging psysical and mental backpacking trip.To my surprise there wasn’t too many switchbacks or sudden elevation drops… I think the beggining and the end of the trails are the toughest, as the beggining is has many stwitchbacks and the most sudden elevation drops.
I'm not sure about you guy's but when I see someone giving away some Free Stock Photos or Textures I'm quick to add them to my arsenal… I
was supposed to release this when i first launch my site, but of course time got the best of me. Anywhooo, better late than never!

Joshua tree national park is more like Flintstone land! Located on the San Bernardino/Riverside border it’s home to the Joshua tree (Yucca). Apparently these are really famous to rock climbers, and scrambling enthusiast. Depending on which entrance you enter the park through you will see big rocks piled on top of each other. When I say big I mean enormous, in photos they look like pebbles just tossed in a little section on the side of the road. Here are some panoramas:
Yohana and I took a few shots to show scale:
