button and html url

[tiki16]

Hi,
I have a button that is nested in 5 movies. When clicked it is supposed to get a page. It isn't. It does on its own. This is my code:

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (release, rollOut, dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay(16);
}
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.something.com");
}

I tired target blank and it doesn't work. What is the proper syntax?
thanx

It is correct, but I've seen a simmilar today or yesterday, try putting the on(release) action on top, it helped the other person ...
If that's not the problem, maybe it's because you're using two times the on(release) action; put them together:

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (release, rollOut, dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay(16);
getURL("http://www.something.com");
}

U can still use the ,"_blank" if you like, but it's normal that it doesn't change anything to your problem ...
The only thing I think is strange, is that you a btn rollOut does the same action as the release function ... maybe this would be better:

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
on(release){
gotoAndPlay(16);
getURL("http://www.something.com");
}

Hi, I tried
a few combinations and received an error when clicking the button stting: "Macromedia flash has stopped a potentially unsafe operation..."
I've never seen this before. At any rate it still doesn't work.
thanks
