getURL problem with popup blockers?

hi everyone,

I am getting a problem.

I am using getURL function to open a url with a button

my code is getURL("http://www.google.com","_blank");

in Internet Explorer, the pop up blocker starts 
       blocking the new window after 3-4 attempts.

do anyone know why?

I think new window is not a pop up window

please help me

thanks in advance

because its opening a new window from within Flash it counts as a popup

if you redirect the page you dont get the problem…

if anyone knows of a workaround, im all ears..

Do you use onPress or onRelease (use onRelease)

Do you use onPress or onRelease (use onRelease)

hi michelsteege,

I am using onRelease

t think that this only happens on your local storage, once you upload this onto a http server it sorts itself out (part of flash’s and internet explorer’s local security settings.

somebody please correct me if i’m wrong.

if all else fails you might have to use “_self”, that definately works.

ps. i just remembered, i think there might be a new target called _new, which i think works with the tabs. i’ll just test it now.

damn! for some reason, _blank doesn’t bring up the popup blocker so i cant get any accurate results, sorry guys

- Embed your swf with SWFObject…
- Try with AllowScriptAccess
