Hi,  
I want to open an html file in a new window from my flash content, but am having trouble. Here is the code below I am using:

on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:openWindow(‘become.html’,‘newWindow’,‘toolbar=0,location=0,directries=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=400,height=550,left=80,top=180’)”);  
}

For some reason, a new window appears but the parameters don’t take nor does my file load.

Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,  
Joe :}
