Hi

I’ve got a problem with getURL, it works fine tested locally.

\_root.cb\_mc.url\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
getURL(“[http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)”, “\_blank”);  
};

However when testing from the hosting server a new window opens fine but the index URL is added in front of the target URL, like so:

[http://host.com/www.mysite.com](http://host.com/www.mysite.com)

and as the link functions as a relative link to the main site rather than an external absolute URL, it doesn’t work!

Any ideas how to fix this?  
I have added to the index HTML “allowScriptAccess” value=“always”.

Thanks

Rene
