I have a movieclip (mc1) which consists of a mask and another movieclip (mc2). mc2 has 3 buttons. One code that I attached to one of the buttons (and which doens’t work) is as follows:  
on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://science.nasa.gov/](http://science.nasa.gov/)”);  
}  
why doesn’t that work?  
mc1 has the following code:  
on (rollOver) {stop();}  
on (rollOut) {play();}  
which works ok.
