It's a very basic problem but I can't seem to crack it. The getURL command
is activated by a button which works fine when tested in Flash (Ctrl+Enter).
However, when I test it in the browser nothing happens. I am using the
following script on the button:

on (press) {
getURL("http://www.mywebsite.com",_blank);
}

I would appreciate any help/advice.

Try this.

on (press) {

getURL("http://www.mywebsite.com","_blank");

}

Hi Peter

Yes, I have tried putting _blank in quotes as well and that doesn't seem to
work eaither.

Have you checked the Flash Player security settings?
Are you testing locally?

Try to publish for Flash Player 6 and re-test.

If it works it must be a security problem/pop-up manager or firewall.

Your code seems fine.

hi,
just use some trace statements inside your actions script like,
on (press) {
trace("Test");
getURL("http://www.mywebsite.com","_blank");
}
I think, you didnt get the button action correctly...
This should wokr, if you have done correctly....

Got it, thanks. It was the publish setting; changed it to Flash 6 and it
worked.

Thanks to you all, but especially to "oceanfeeling" - you cracked it.
