flash actionscript : ActionScript clickTAG functionality

While using Flash 4 I am attempting to set up the "getURL" and attach it to a
banner ad for tracking purposes. I have followed the Macromedia Tech Note on
this procedure, but it appears that the Flash functionality, itself, simply is
preventing this script from working properly. The Instance Properties window
requires that a script type be selected from a drop-down, and I'm choosing "Get
URL." I am pasting the clickTAG code, as presented in the Tech Note, directly
into the right-hand "URL:" box. But the problem seems to be that the "Get URL"
text is appearing within the script, itself. There doesn't appear to be any way
around this--any method for manually removing this phrase. It seems that the
script would work fine without it! The Instance Properties box also will not
allow the selection of "expression" from another drop-down. It cites a "syntax
error" when this selection is made.

What gives, here? Am I doing something wrong, or does "clickTAG" NOT actually
work from within Flash v. 4? (Supposedly it does.) Can anybody help with this?

In advance, your time and experience are appreciated.

Sincerely,
Not a Flash Guru (obviously)

Thanks for the info, Husein. This implementation appears to be working,
although the server address is not appearing in the new ("_blank") window title
bar & address bar, before the redirect to the destination URL. Would you happen
to know if it is normal for the server URL?before redirect?to NOT display
before the target address is displayed?
