Movie clip getURL

I have a movie clip and I want it to go to a URL when clicked. When I preview the swf in Flash the link seems to work fine, however when inserted into a web page through swfObject it doesn’t work.

This is the code I have on my movie clip:


on (release) {
getURL ("#");
}

Should I be doing something else? Or is it something to do with the actual web page not allowing links from Flash?

I need this link coming from the movie clip. Creating a button isn’t an option.
