This is embarrassing–I’m not new to Flash but have just gotten an upgrade from MX to MX04 and the AS is killing me. I’ve got this code on a button—on(release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.apple.com](http://www.apple.com)”, “\_blank”)  
}

This is the error I get back-

**Error** Symbol=movie1, layer=links, frame=1:Line 1: Syntax error.  
Button.onPress getURL(“[http://www.apple.com](http://www.apple.com)”, “\_blank”);

What is the correct syntax?  
Also, what is the earliest player I can export to for max backward compatability?

Thanks
