yeah you have to put it in quotes and use the whole http string, ie getURL("(full URL string with http like above)", "_self") where _self means it will open in the same window, _blank means it will open in a new window, _parent means it will open in the window that opened the current window like if the flash was a pop-up window and you wanted the link to open in the window that it popped open from. I think there is another, _top but i'm not exactly sure about that one.
