    External Linking / ToS

    Could someone give me the official word regarding links on various surfaces?

    Are standard (non target=_blank) hrefs allowed? Are there any restrictions we should know about? We would like to link to our site in a compliant fashion.

    If it's just html, there are no issues at all with linking out.

    Awesome, thanks for the info.

    How about "linking" from Flash widgets? Although I'm not a Flash guru, It's my understanding that Flash essentially invokes the browser's navigation. Will MySpace be forcing allowNetworking="internal" on all embeds? It seems like this wasn't the case a little while ago, but it may have changed recently.

     You should be able to use the rest api's to link out. :)

    I'm a little confused... I'm not sure the API is needed to accomplish what we're doing. We'd like the user to click a button in Flash, and have that button act like a href in HTML. Normally this works fine, but MySpace has forced allowNetworking to "internal" in the past on user profiles, which prevents this from working. Will this be the case with MDP Flash embeds?

    allowNetorking will remain disabled. Our rest API's allow calls out from flash on a profile, but that doesn't really fit what you're doing-  I don't think what you're looking for will be possible. We're not changing our security restrictions at all for this platform.

    What does this mean?

    Is there a [Flash] API that lets my app link to another page - especially if it's a myspage page?  

    If so what is it? 

    If not there is a desparate need of one - at least a navigateToMyspaceURL

    I pass the weburi - the API validates it and bounces if valid...

    Pretty please
