Development Flash coding

Yeah, anyway, I'm trying to make a website portfolio in Flash (It's a lot harder than I thought )

Anyway, I'm trying to make an external link on my page, and it REALLY doesn't like it, the code I've tried so far (all in the button itself)

Code:

btnDevi.onRelease = function(){
	getURL("http://b-s-advertising.deviantart.com");
}

Code:

	getURL("http://b-s-advertising.deviantart.com");

Code:

http://b-s-advertising.deviantart.com

Code:

"http://b-s-advertising.deviantart.com"

And still no joy, not even a response, it says on all of the above that the syntax is wrong (Or I assume that's what it means

Code:

**Error** Symbol=btnDevi, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: ')' or ',' expected
     getURL(http://bigsharn.deviantart.com);

Little help anyone?
I'm using Flash 8 and ActionScript 2 if it helps

Thanks

 

Code:

btnDevi.onRelease = function(){
	getURL("http://b-s-advertising.deviantart.com");
}

Works fine on my side.
Make sure that 'btnDevi' exists on the same stage level as the button, and that it's applied on a layer and not onto an object.

Your .FLA won't work on my version of Flash fr some reason... I DID have it on the button, but now I've tried it on the layer instead and still no joy (I really do fail at this)

I'll just give up and do the entire thing in HTML, Flash obviously hates me

 

Sorry I gave it to you in Flash CS3 and not Flash 8.

Here is the Flash 8 version:

aww that was kind of goodbytes, ha =)

 

might help to specify: getURL("http://b-s-advertising.deviantart.com", "_blank") to force it into a new window/tab
