hey all. here is my script.

**on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:window.open(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”,“mywindow”,“width=500,height=500”)”);  
}**

the link opens up fine…but it opens up a tab in firefox that displays the following text.

**"[object Window]"**

in internet explorer it gives me the error. and won’t open the window.

**internet explorer cannot download.  
unspecified error.**

you can view it at [http://www.pixelstudios.cc/Untitled1.swf](http://www.pixelstudios.cc/Untitled1.swf) and see…maybe it’s just my pc??
