getURL not working in IE 8 or Firefox 3

Hi,

I understand that this question has been posted before but the prior discussions did not help me resolve my problem, therefore I am posting this topic again, hoping somebody can help me with it.

I am trying to create a button that links to another website upon clicked. My code is as follows:


//embedded within a button
on(release) {

     getURL("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");

}

However, this does not work as the button does not seems to do anything be it if I preview it in the flash development environment or browsing it off the html that contains its swf. I am using Flash CS4 and my movie was exported for actionscript 2. I have attached the fla for your reference. Thanks in advance.
