Hi,  
I have my main site in a .swf file which links to a external .swf - From this external .swf I would like to open a HTML pop-up window with the button action

on (release) {  
getURL("JavaScript:openWindow(“dark.htm”, “320”, “370”)  
");  
}

But it does not work at all - I have placed the correct code in my HTML file. This has worked fine before I started using external swf’s so what am I doing wrong??

You can see my test site at [www.christensen.tv/test](http://www.christensen.tv/test)

Thanks
