calling javascript function with navigateToURL

[DJ Gecko]

In AS2 I could call a javascript pop up function from flash with the geturl. But it's not working with AS3's navigateToURL. Here's my code:

var UrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:MM_openBrWindow(' http://www.djgecko.com/mp3/17_ice_hopper.mp3','DJGecko','top=' + ((screen.availHeight/2)-(200/2)) + ',left=' + ((screen.availWidth/2)-(400/2)) + ',status=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,height=200')");

navigateToURL(UrlRequest);


And here is my javascript code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>

When I paste the url string in my browser the pop up works. When I test the swf in the Flash app it opens up a browser window and tries to run the function, but it of course doesn't work. When I open the .swf in a browser, embedded in the page with the javascript function, nothing happens. Can someone help?

Thanks!

navigateToURL(URLRequest);

Even without embedding the Javascript to open a new browser window, I cannot get this to work properly.

My code is pretty simple:

dooWop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToTvPledge);

function goToTvPledge(e:Event):void
{
var tvPledgeRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://pledge.wusf.usf.edu/wusftvdefault.asp?p=TVWEB");
navigateToURL(tvPledgeRequest);
}

But when I click on the frame or frames that this AS applies to, I get the Pop-up blocked message when in IE 7. I really need to find out how to get around this, because most of my site visitors are still using IE.

Sorry, I haven't resolved your issue, but your question would have been my next one...How can I incorporate the Javascript to Open a New Browser Window to get some control of the size and to get around the Pop-up blockers. I really didn't even request a pop-up this time. Don't know why I'm getting this error....

Can anyone help?

pointing the navigateToURL to _self has fixed the problem.

ex:

navigateToURL(UrlRequest, "_self");
