Hello All,

I am trying to control the main window whilst closing a pop up window (launched from main window).

In HTML I usually put.

\<div align=“center”\>\<a href=“javascript:opener.location.href=‘[http://www.whovever.co.uk](http://www.whovever.co.uk)’;self.close()”\>  
\<font face=“Georgia, Arial, Helvetica” color="#000000"\>Click here for more\</font\>\</a\>  
\</div\>

This close the pop up and tells the main window to go to a URL.

What do I put in getURL? Flash 5

Thanks for any help.
