I have a problem with using JavaScript in Flash8.

**\<script language=“JavaScript”\>  
function launchwin()  
{  
newwin = window.open(“layout.html”,“portfolio”,“fullscreen=1, scrollbars=1”)  
newwin.resizeBy(15,0)  
}  
\</script\>**

layout.html is getting loaded in fullscreen which contains flash.

I have a close button in my layout, which I want, should close layout.html.

I put the following script to that button -

**on (release)  
{  
getURL(“javascript:window.close(‘portfolio’)”);  
};**

But it doesnt seem to work somehow. Please Help.
