Pausing MC.When I use getURL("mypage.html", "_blank"); why does my MC start playing?

Hi all I am trying to pause my MC when I onpress on that MC, when it loads a new (_blank) window.

EG:
on (press){
_root.themovie.gotoAndStop.(_currentframe);
getURL(“image1.jpg”, “_blank”);
}

But when my page loads into the new window and I go back to the main content window on where I clicked the original MC has already started playing! And I am also pausing using my onRollover command, so I really have 2 functions telling it to pause!

These are my other on states

on (rollOver){
framevar = _currentframe;
gotoAndStop(framevar);
_root.attachMovie(“clickhere”, “clickhere_mc”, 0, {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
_root.photomain.stop();
_root.photomain.slideshow.gotoAndStop(“paused”);
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.clickhere_mc._x = _xmouse ;
_root.clickhere_mc._y = _ymouse ;
}

on (rollOut){
clickhere_mc.removeMovieClip();
_root.photomain.play();
_root.clickhere_mc.gotoAndPlay(“finishup”);
_root.photomain.slideshow.gotoAndStop(“playing”);
}

Any help would be great
