Hi everyone, this is my first posting and I need some help on the getURL command. I typed in some text and converted into a button and on the action script I used "on (release) { getURL(“[http://www.site](http://www.site)”, “\_blank”); }. When I publish it, no errors were stated. Everything work fine but when I clicked on the button to go to the website, it just pop out the browser and the last page that I was looking at. Another word when I clicked the button with the getURL AS, it just open up the browser and didn’t go to the link specified in AS. Any help is greatly appreciate.
