hi I have an xml based image gallery(from this forum) that I have load pics and thumbs and I just tried to add a get url link in to open up urls in a \_blank page. when clicked, however, a new window opens up, but says “undefined”. can anyone help. thanks.

here is the code in flash:

var tnNr;  
spacing = 10;  
container.\_alpha = 0;  
var curLength;  
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic, id) {  
// txt eventually for links  
txMe2.info.text = “”;  
this.\_alpha = 0;  
this.loadMovie(pic);  
temp = this.\_parent.createEmptyMovieClip(“temp2”, 998);  
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {  
var t = container.getBytesTotal(), l = container.getBytesLoaded();  
if (Math.round(l/t) == 1 && container.\_width != 1 && container.\_height != 0) {  
var w = container.\_width+spacing, h = container.\_height+spacing;//was \_width+spacing  
border.resizeMe(w, h, id);  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h, id) {  
var speed = 5;  
container.\_alpha = 0;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_width += (w-this.\_width)/speed;  
this.\_height += (h-this.\_height)/speed;  
if (Math.abs(this.\_width-w)\<1 && Math.abs(this.\_height-h)\<1) {  
this.\_width = w;  
this.\_height = h;  
container.\_x = this.\_x-this.\_width/2+spacing/2;  
container.\_y = this.\_y-this.\_height/2+spacing/2;  
//info.\_y = Math.round(this.\_y+this.\_height/2+spacing/2);  
container.\_alpha += 9;  
if (container.\_alpha\>90) {  
//Color, Press txt to open new link in in \_blank window  
txMe2.info.text = id;  
txMe2.onRollOver = function() {  
txMe2.info.textColor = 0x00ff00;  
}  
txMe2.onRollOut= function() {  
txMe2.info.textColor = 0xffffff;  
}  
txMe2.onRelease = function() {  
getURL(link\*,"\_blank");  
};  
container.\_alpha = 100;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
}  
};  
};

this[butArray\*].enabled = 0;  
this[butArray\*].gotoAndStop(2);  
}  
}  
}  
disButtons(0);  
galleryChoice(0);

Here is the Xml:  
\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?\>  
\<menu\>  
\<gallery name=“Websites”\>  
\<image source=“pics/austin.jpg” thumb=“pics/austin\_thmb.jpg” title=“[http://austinirving.com](http://austinirving.com)” link=“[http://austinirving.com](http://austinirving.com)”/\>
