[COLOR=Navy]Hi All!

Please help, I have this code that should allow the button in my flash file to open up the URL in a blank web window when clicked. Sorry not very Flash savvy. Anyone got some advice? Here is the code I have in there now:

\*\* my button has an instance name of website[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Gray]website.onRelease = function () {  
getURL(“[http://www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com)”, “\_blank”);  
} ;  
[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]The error says:  
[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Gray]1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.  
1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.  
[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Navy]???

Thanks for your help.

Best,
