Plug-in Internet access

I am just getting back into Runrev, so bear with me if these questions are covered somewhere. The command "launch url" is not working in my revlet. It works just fine as a standard stack. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Am I doing something wrong?

Dear professorhagen,

In the Web pane of the standalone settings window, select the option "Use these settings". Make sure that the checkbox Shell is hilighted.

If you now start the stack inside a browser (after building a web version of it), it should ask you for permission to access shell function and procesess. Allow access and the launch url function will work.

You can find an example of this on the TwistAWord page in Facebook.

Best regards,
