getURL("javascript:window.open... full path necessary?!

[Spidy6123]

Hey guys,

for some reason when I try to open a page in a new window via:

getURL("javascript:window.open('menu2.html','Packages','channelmode=no,fullscreen=no,directories=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=640,height=600');void(0)");

it won't work unless I replace 'menu2.html' with the full path eg. '

http://www.website.com/menu2.html'

makes it difficult if the site ever needs to be relocated.. what am I doing wrong?

TIA

not doing anything wrong

as default i always incude the full url .....as a variable that is loaded either from a text file or a backend database

at least that way nobody has to touch the fla

makes maintenance a bit easier

really.. anyway u can give me a crash course on loading a variable from a txt?

then maybe a sammple on using the variable of course
