    Hey, got a quick noob questiona about a getURL command in Flash. If anyone can help out of the kindness of their heart, let me know, it's urgent. I'm on yahoo (capndan71) and aim (Isercle), the sooner the better. It's so simple, you expert Flashers will probably laugh.

    thanks!

    OK, here's the question:

    I have a Flash file with a button that has a getURL action applied to it, to open a new URL in a new window. I've looked up several different tutorials on this, and it seems SOOOO simple, yet I can't get it to work! Wondering what I'm doing wrong... Urgent matter, I need to get this done very soon, so any help would be appreciated! Here's the simple code:

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

    I believe it's just a button I'm using, not a movieclip. I went to "Insert New Symbol", selected "button"... then I typed some text, and chose "Break apart" and changed the color.

    Then, I went back to Scene 1, and on the keyframe I chose to start making the button available, I dropped in the button I had just made. On that keyframe, I opened the Actions menu, and put in the code you see above.

    Can anyone help? I'm desperate!
