getURL - open pdf - bug in ie6 ms sp2 enemit

flash actionscript:
hi,
i got this snippet of code:

Inst_OrderForm_btn.onRelease=function() {
getURL("./doc/x_coffee.pdf", "_blank");
}
and it links to the pdf on the same webserver.

It does what it should on all plattforms (mac,linux,ms2000) in all browsers,
except ie6 on ms sp2. in here it opens a new blank browser window, stays for a
second and disapears - all normal, but after that there is no
datadownload-popup where i can choose from saving or opening the file.
Is it a known (security/flash) problem in sp2 and is there a workaround? I use
MX 2004.
(if i open a link to a pdf in a html or php-file on the server - the ie6 does
it right.)
thanks for any helb.ste.

Hi!

Sorry, but I dont' write because I can help you - instead: I have the same
problem, so if you or anybody perhaps have the answer, please post it.

This is not a marginal problem, this is something basical: to be able to get a
file downloaded under IE6 SP2.

By the way: somebody know why the getURL method can't normally be used under
Opera 8 to open a new webpage (e.g. getURL("www.google.com", "_blank"); doesn't
work under Opera, however it works fine in IE!)

Thanks!
