the getURL() format is as follows:

getURL(url, target, method);

now, target is the method that is probably what you’re having trouble with. there are 4 options you can use, that I am aware of.

“\_self”  
“\_blank”  
“\_top”  
“\_parent”

If you want a new window to be opened, I believe you’ll want to use “\_blank”.

So for you it could be (or possibly a different method):

getURL(“[http://thepageIwant.com](http://thepageIwant.com)”, “\_blank”, “POST”);

the getURL() function should go in your actionscript in the flash object.

Just one more thing to note, you do not have to you an absolute URL (for example “[http://www.here.com](http://www.here.com)”) you can instead use a variable which contains the link you want to go to, since you mention you are doing dynamic stuff.

</div>

one more ques. I dont know if im pushing the boundaries of flash here but wold it be possible to put this or any actionscript command inside the dynamic text file

```auto
on (release) {
	// customize the window that gets opened
	// 0 equals NO.
	// 1 equals YES.
	address = "slbdeadbeat.html";
	target_winName = "slb";
	width = 544;
	height = 394;
	toolbar = 0;
	location = 0;
	directories = 0;
	status = 0;
	menubar = 0;
	scrollbars = 0;
	resizable = 0;
	// sends data back to the function
	openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

```

I’ll elaborate more on what im getting at, once this question is answered.

</div>

If you want to customize the popup window on dnamic loaded txt, do this:

1. On your html page of your flash movie place this code between the \<head\>\</head\> tags:

```php

<script language="javascript">
function popup()
{
window.open("yourfile.html","","height=550,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,width=600,left=0,top=0");
}
</script>

```

Note that there are other properties u can customize, just need to know javascript.

2)On your txt file place this tag:

```auto
<A HREF='Java-script:popup()'>here is your link</A>

```

Remove the “-” in Java-script

yes, you can  
just make a function in JS and call it from flash with

```auto
getURL("javascript : /function goes here/");

```
