hi, i’m pulling in this text via getURL

```auto
"javascript:DB_openNewWindow('http://myurl.org/flash/flash.htm','main','width=730,height=460,left='+((screen.availWidth-730)/2)+',top='+(((screen.availHeight-460)/2)-50)+',toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,resizeable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no')"

```

I tried escaping all of the quotes and single quotes using \ but it’s still not working.

Are there other characters that need to be escaped?

(that exact code works fine when placed on the button in the FLA)

thanks…
