The problem seems to be the name of the new window. Because my flash is in a frame, I suspect it tries to refer to a non-exsting frame name, instead of opening a new window with that name. At least in Internet Explorer. Not in Firefox, that works fine.

Any other thoughts on this? And how to fix it? \_blank wont work.
