Help with buttons and Links

[NGPulp]

I tried the GetURL command on a button but it dosen't work! I know that the URL is working but what went wrong?!

Since mind reading is impossible, you should probably post your code and which version of Actionscript you're using.

onRelease = function() {
getURL("URL" "_self");
};

looks like you forgot a comma.

getURL("URL" , "_self");

No, he didn't.
It happens to me too, I don't really know how to get past it but just try this:

on(release){
_root.getURL("URL", "_self");
}

Do you need glasses? There isn't a comma between the parameters in the code OP posted. So... yes, he did forget it. And it needs to be there or hes going to get an incorrect number of arguments error. _root, on the other hand, is not necessary to use getURL().

NGpulp: You may want to take a look at this blog post: factornine.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/getu rl-not-working-in-as2/

A relevant quote from the post: "I figured out that when the html and the swf are on separate servers, the getURL must specify "_blank" as the target."

And this is from the actionscript dictionary, as a reminder of what does what:
"_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
"_blank" specifies a new window.
"_parent" specifies the parent of the current frame.
"_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.

I wear some already.

Oh shoot, I thought you were talking about a semicolon, sorry ^_^
