How can I launch other applications using a URI scheme?
Problem
The restrictions on launching custom URI schemes with navigateToURL() have been removed. How can I use this feature to launch other applications, including other AIR applications?
Solution
The restrictions on the url launcher (navigateToURL) have not been lifted. We are still limited to http://, sms://, tel://, market:// and a short list of others.

You cannot launch other apps based on their registered URI intent. Only the existing, whitelisted applications will not throw a security error.
