I have several buttons on my portfolio page ,each set to a script :

on(release){  
getUrl(“javascript:window.open(‘[http://www.olddirtydermot.com/control](http://www.olddirtydermot.com/control). html’,‘newwindow’,‘width=480,height=623,top=0,left  
=0’); void(0);”)  
}

When I go to test my movie I get this message in the output box

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=4: Line 3: String literal was not properly terminated  
getUrl("javascript:window.open(‘[http://www.olddirtydermot.com/control](http://www.olddirtydermot.com/control). html’,‘newwindow’,'width=480,height=623,top=0,left

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=4: Line 4: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.  
=0’); void(0);")

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=4: Line 5: ‘)’ or ‘,’ expected  
}

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=5: Line 3: String literal was not properly terminated  
getUrl("javascript:window.open(‘[http://www.olddirtydermot.com/wet](http://www.olddirtydermot.com/wet). html’,‘newwindow’,'width=362,height=289,top=0,left

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=5: Line 4: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.  
=0’); void(0);")

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=5: Line 5: ‘)’ or ‘,’ expected  
}
