Hi there, anybody know why a getURL isn’t working on a movieclip? The exact same code works fine when on a normal button but not on a MovieClip. Both were on the top timeline and were not embedded within anything. Actionscripting 1 in Flash CS3.

```auto
on (release) {
	getURL(clickTag, "_blank");
}

```

Thanks in advance!
