I have Flash movie where I want to be able to click a button (as a movie clip),  
and once its clicked, a new window will open (on top of the original) and play an external SWF. I am able to get the external movie to open, but it replaces my original movie. I know about the “getURL” action, but can this be done with loadMovie? Below is the scripting I’m using. Can anyone help? Thanks!

winksAd\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.loadMovie.(“winksbodyshop2\_001.swf”, “\_blank”);  
};
