I’m loading a text file with:

```auto
<a href="asfunction:_global.direct,home"><font color="#FFFFFF">home 
</font></a>

```

It works, in this example the user gets directed to home.html,  
which is an url from the root directory(index.html).

But I want the user to go to a different url than that of the page’s  
root directory. From [mysite.com](http://mysite.com) to [yoursite.com](http://yoursite.com).  
Tried a couple of things, but they didn’t work.

thanks

This is the AS:

```auto
_global.direct = function(url) {
    getURL(url, "_blank");
};

```

thanks CyanBlue!

\*EDIT: AAAAARRRGGHHHH!!!  
THE ONLY MISTAKE IN MY CODE WERE THE DOUBLE  
QUOTATION MARKS IN THE TEXT FILE!!!  
THE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SINGLE ONES!!!

```auto
<a href='asfunction:_global.direct,http://www.inflicted.nl'><font color="#000000">inflicted</font></a>

```
