I am new to using XML in Flash, and am following senocular’s XML tutorial ([http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/portfolio.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/portfolio.htm)).

In the tutorial, when a thumbnail is clicked, it displays the image (by its URL) within the flash file, but I wish to open a new browser window and just display it there.

In the code:

```auto
currentThumb_mc.onRelease = function(){
			image_mc.loadMovie(this.image);

```

instead of image\_mc.loadMovie(this.image), could I use getURL? How can I get it to open the URL associated with that image?

Thanks in advance
