Hi there.

What are your publish settings?
Local or Network?
If you publish for network the getURL in external windows won´t work local
on i.e. your own computer or a CD.

You can read more about it at the following url:

Make sure you have quotes (") around the URL inside of the parentheses. That is easy to overlook many times.

Without code examples, it's difficult to tell what your problem might be. You may want to try _root.getURL if the command happens to be somewhere removed from the main class.

This is the code, the simple one:

on(press) {
getURL(" http://www.yahoo.com", _mainFrame);}

the other is and is in an frame:
import flash.external.*;
var newWindow:String;
myBut.onPress = function () {
newWindow = String (ExternalInterface.call ("openWindow", " http://www.flashscript.biz"));
};

Ofcourse it doesnt say where i can put the mainFrame frame location i want....
