Flash CS3 help

[emak]

I've made a simple information site and i have links that open up the vendors page in a new tab, but when the link is clicked it opens two tabs in firefox. The actionscript is very simple:

on (press, release) {
getURL("http://www.marshfurniture.com/collections_MC.htm", "_blank");
}

I'm using Flash CS3 Professional. It's actionscript 2.0 (i know 3.0 is out there)

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You are calling two events, press and release, only use one.

Sorry, handling not calling.

on (press) {
getURL("http://www.marshfurniture.com/collections_MC.htm", "_blank");
}

That's AS1, you should really try 3.

And you should also be using MC's instead of buttons. Movie Clips posses all the properties of buttons and more. So when you convert to as3, your code should be as follows:

myButton.buttonMode = true;

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_to_site);

function go_to_site(event:MouseEvent)
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.marshfurniture.com/collections_MC.htm");

navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
}
