    I'm assuming you already know how to make a link in Flash...

    To make one open in a new window, just add "_blank" to the link ActionScript, like so:

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

    which version of flash? which version of Action script? 1 and 2 are very different from three. (3 was introduced by adobe, i believe, so hence its a complete overhaul).

    Follow Kirkbride's code to achieve a new browser window. If you want to have more control over the location, size, visible bars, etc play with this:
