Hi there… I’ve been trying to create a very basic link in a flash movie. A simple piece of Javascript to open a window with specified dimensions and parameters.

Typically, this is very basic with HTML, however, I’d like to do this with a flash button instead. I found [THIS](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/newwindow.htm) tutorial for flash 5, however when I use that exact code on my button, I get 2 errors when I publish.

```auto
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 4, frame=80:Line 2: Syntax error.
	  javascript:Launch('http://members.shaw.ca/spdev/sndojo/basic.html')

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 4, frame=80:Line 4: Unexpected '}' encountered
	 }

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

```

Can anyone tell me why? Or perhaps how to get this working? Much thanks.
