Bug in Help Viewer

[warwound]

Hi all.

I've found a little bug with the B4A Help Viewer program...

If you search for the term "create webview on the fly" and make sure that the checkbox "Use browser for forum links" is checked (it's checked by default) does your browser automatically open the url YouTube - Universe?

Now uncheck that checkbox and search for the same term again - you should now see the Help Viewer itself try to load the same You Tube video.
(I say try as it fails and says i need to install Flash even though i have the latest version installed already).

It's parsing (i think) the HTML in post #6 of this thread: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/10177-youtube-movie-webview.html#post56668

Not so much a bug as an annoyance maybe?

I use v0.93 of the HelpViewer on a XP Pro machine. It loads the page and plays the Universe video without problems.

Yes but my point is that the browser automatically opening a You Tube link contained in a forum post is not desired behavior?

Sorry, Martin, I got that wrong. I thought you were adressing the flash player problem. I can see your point now - it should really open the forum page, resp. show the links to matching pages. HelpViewer shows at least all the links too, the browser shows the video only.
