okay, i’m running on about 3 hrs of sleep and my brain can’t figger this one out:

I have:

```auto
on (release) {getURL("http://www.havemangroup.com", _blank);}

```

which is opening the web link into the same browser window as my flash movie (unloading the flash).

in the past i’ve used this code plenty and it always opens a new browser window…

what gives??? it’s like it’s using \_self instead of \_blank…!!!

i know it’s an easy one… I just can’t think straight anymore!!
