"http://www.apple.com"; works for me as well, as does any url I've tried that doesn't end in a file. But urls I've tried that do end in a file will not work when the script is an app. Try this one:
http://www.armpitstudios.com/sites/as/Apps.html
Works if I run the .scpt from Script Debugger or from the system Script menu, also works if I run the .app from Script Debugger, but does not work if I run the .app from the system Script menu or by launching it in Finder.
