Popup windows from Flash 8

[beerje]

I am trying to open several individual windows from a Flash 8 movie. Here is my script (so far):

on (release)
getURL("javascr ipt:NewWindow=w indow.open("227 7.html","acc15-2277",width="25 0",height="200" ,left=100,top=1 00,toolbar=No,l ocation=No,scro llbars=No,statu s=No,resizable= No,fullscreen=N o,NewWindow.foc us(),void(0)");
return;
}
and here is the error message I am getting:

**Error** Symbol=m-main, layer=Layer 776, frame=1745:Line 2: '{' expected
getURL("javascr ipt:NewWindow=w indow.open("227 7.html","acc15-2277",width="25 0",height="200" ,left=100,top=1 00,toolbar=No,l ocation=No,scro llbars=No,statu s=No,resizable= No,fullscreen=N o,NewWindow.foc us(),void(0)");

**Error** Symbol=m-main, layer=Layer 776, frame=1745:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
return;

**Error** Symbol=m-main, layer=Layer 776, frame=1745:Line 4: Unexpected '}' encountered
}

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

Please, can anyone help me solve this?

please excuse my last post. this code will work, but only when the flash movie is tested online (localhosting works too)...

so... thanks for this information :-)

It doesn't work on Safari, locally or on the Internet.
As soon as I export the swf as version 8, it fails.
Version 5 works fine.

I've tried even building the flash object from an external.js (also for avoiding to click it in order to start responding) no success.

Firefox 2.0 won't work either on Mac.
