getURL to Open in a New Window

programming flash
1

Hi everyone,

I would like my link to open in a new window (other than the current window). I’ve researched this topic and even tried on (Release), and also put a trace statement to see if my button works, and it does, but the link doesn’t open in a new window. It opens in the current window which is playing my swf, so I have to press the back button to have the swf play again. Any other suggestions? Below is my AS:

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www…", “_blank”);

thanks!
