Stupid button isn't working

[nocomply]

I've created a button that is linked to a picture I have in the same folder that my movie is saved in...my movie is called site and the picture is before1.jpg.
My code is like this for the button.

on (release) {
getURL("before1.jpg");
}

I don't specify a location since it's in the same directory...It just comes up a white page and i've tried to search google for an answer but no luck.

do you want the image to open in another window, or do you want to have it load into your flash movie?

simple link to open the picture in another window. When I target a link like http://www.google.com it works fine but locally it doesn't

there doesn't seem to be any problems with your script...are you sure the image and .swf are in the same location?
Maybe try publishing your movie into a html and test the html page.
