flash (macromedia) : Trouble posting flash file on myspace

Hello all,

I'm having a ridiculous time trying to figure out why my buttons don't work on
my band's myspace page.

Here's a link to the file standalone, working as it should be
www.livefromheaven.com/newsongs.swf

And here's a link to the myspace page where the buttons aren't working
www.myspace.com/livefromheaven

All the buttons do is open up a blank webpage, using this code
on (release) {getURL("http://www.myspace.com/livefromheaven");
}




I cannot figure out for the life of me what could be different, they're the
same file. Does myspace disable flash buttons or something? And if so, does
anybody know a way to re-enable them? I know it's possible, I've seen plenty
of flash moveies and games on myspace with workign buttons.

BTW, this is the code I used to embed the swf into myspace.

<div align="center"><param name="movie"
value="http://www.livefromheaven.com/newsongs.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal"
src="http://www.livefromheaven.com/newsongs.swf" width="450" height="150"
align="middle" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

So after doing a little more research, I've come to discover that all external
links in flash files that open up a new web page... don't work on myspace.
I've read that the way to do it is to embed an javascript file that plays the
flash file. Does anyone have a tutorial for how to do this, or know another
work-around?

Thanks a lot,
Michael
