I’ve tried linking to a website in Flash MX 2004 and I got this problem during Actionscripting:

```auto
on (release) }
	getURL ("http://www.planetside.co.uk", "_blank", "PLANETSIDE");
}

```

and heres the Error message when previewing:

```auto

     on (release) 

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=planetside button, frame=1:Line 3: Method name must be GET or POST
