Does getURL have to have http://... or can it use relative paths?

[analogs]

Whenever I try to do a getURL as a relative path, it doesn't work. I can't use ../file/popup.html. I have to do this:

on (release) {
	getURL ("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.123.com/files/popup.html','popwindow','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes') ");
}

Can you use relative paths?. Yes? No?

Yes.

If you want to load another url on a different server to your movie then the http:// has to be there.

If you want to run another file on the same server as your movie you don't need http://

If you are trying to open a file as data on a different server then you'll have problem because of an inbuilt Flash security feature.

I'm wondering if the fact you are using javascript and a pop up window means that this might be involved:
