i built a set of very nice looking movie clip buttons following the tutorial from [gotoAndLearn.com](http://gotoAndLearn.com)

they look fantastic but they are not serving their purpose. my over and out functions work as they should, so does the button text, but linking refuses to work.

```auto

b1.onRollOver = over;
b1.onRollOut = out;
b1.buttText.buttonText.text = "07 portfolio"
b1.onRelease = link1;

function over() {
     this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function out() {
     this.gotoAndPlay(12);
}

function link1() {
     getURL("http://www.frozenweb.net", "_blank");
}

```

i am not getting any syntax errors so i’m not sure what’s wrong here. any ideas?
