I am using CS4 for Mac, and am still using action script 2.0

when i make a button and use the code:

on(release){  
getURL(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}

it works perfectly when i test the program, but when i publish it and run the program the button does not function. what could be causing this problem?

Thank you.
