getURL problem

[HighCurve]

I have a standalone projector running off CD. When my client click on a button with this code

on (release){
getURL("http://www.bdo.ca","_blank");
}

to open the web browser to a webpage. The web browser opens a new window on top of the Flash window (fullscreen) as it should. But if the client goes back to the Flash piece leaving the browser open (so the web browser now goes underneather the Flash window) and click on the same button again, my client claims another new web browser window opens up but it is hidden under the Flash window. They are using IE6 on Windows XP pro. What would cause that?

TIA

I have no idea, its probably how IE handles the request. You're not going to be able to do anything about that to my knowledge

I'm sure there is a way to get around this...may require you researching some browser code and NAMING your first window that opens and testing for it if the button is clicked a second time.

If FirstWindowNameOpen = True
Then
LoadSecondWindowNameIntoSameWindow.

pseudo code but it may help give you an idea of how to proceed.

Same problem here, only they are local sites. Check your PMs

I just noticed that in Firefox (I just updated to 1.0.3) My local sites WILL open if in a new tab and if a Firefox window is already open, or the 'most recent/open" window or tab...but will not open it's own page itself. There has to be a way around this in Firefox!
