I have a problem with a button that I created. I inserted new symbol, created the button (which is just a simple logo image that stays the same through all button stages). I added the GetURL code and when I go to test the movie in html, the window automatically pops open in the new window.

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks ahead of time!

You must have accidentally put the action in the frame instead of on the object.

or you left the getUrl set on “blank” window instead of “self”.
