This code doesn’t seem to work when it is attached to the actions of my button. Does javascript need to be modified to work with Flash?

on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:window.open(‘album1.htm’,‘remote\_window’,‘height=500, width=600’); return false;”);  
}

instead of returning valse, try instead to just use void(0); to prevent any returning whatsoever.

Also this might be of interest:

Thanks for the quick reply, “void(0)” worked. Thanks.
