Android: mobileControlSet

[Dan Friedman]

Man, I don't know what I am doing wrong!

Here's EXACTLY what I am doing:

 put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/userGuide/" & pFileName into fURL
 put "file:" & fURL into fURL
 answer (url (fURL)) --to test that it can read the file, and that the file is there
 mobileControlSet sBrowserId,"url",fURL

When this runs on my Android device, I get a answer dialog of the text of the html document.  So, it has to be reading the file that is in the right place!  But, I get a "Webpage not available" message in the browser.

Seems to work for everyone but me... I'm lost.
