url functions in as2

Question

This is from ActionScript 2.0 not a big one, but enough to keep me wondering what is wrong. This code works perfectly when I hit button in original swf file but when I publish it as html or embed it in html document there is no response. What to do?

on (release) { URL("aboutus.html"); } 

Answer 1

Shouldn't it be

on(release) { getURL("aboutus.html"); }
