I got the following variable:

```auto
gArray[cur]

```

```auto
trace (gArray[cur])  

```

returnes the path for the current Picture  
ex: “…/picture/mycurrentpicture.jpg”

I have a button saying this:

```auto
mybutton.onPress = function() {
      getURL ('javascript:Open(gArray[cur])');
}

```

And it doesn’t work!  
(javascript:Open defines a popUp window)  
Why? Can anyone give me a hand please?
