Hi -  
I am using the getURL function in response to a button event. I need it to open the URL (absolute) in a new browser window, but I need the new browser window to open on top of the current browser window. Right now it’s opening behind the current browser window. Below is my code:

on (release){  
getURL(“absolute URL here”, “\_blank”);  
}

any suggestions?
