Any web people have an idea why I'm getting this error?

I have my site set up as a swf over at http://16secondesign.com/

if you go to the mixed media, each thumbnail page is two layers, the thumbnail, then a layer above it with the hitboxes. each hitbox has a link tied to it, example:

on (release) {
getURL("www.16secondesign.com/mixed/parise.html","_blank");
}
//End Behavior

however when it goes to open the correspinding link [each sub page for the paintings is a simple html page]
it doubles up the url bar like so: http://16secondesign.com/www.16secondes ... 12345.html

if you delete the extra www part, it displays the link/page fine. so, the question is, why is it doubling the url up like that??

N/M. figured it out.

I tried going to www.16secondesign.com/mixed/parise.html to see what you were talking about... I see that you figured out your problem but am curious as to what it was and to how you resolved the issue.

Are you using a software program like Dreamweaver?

What'd you do to fix it? Part of the problem is getURL("www.16secondesign.com/mixed/parise.html","_blank"); is not a url at all....

you need to have http:// in front of your domain name at any time in Flash. I'm not even sure why it would work otherwise, but it shouldn't. you're not even supposed to do that in html.

on another note is there a reason that you're using _blank as your target? do you specifically want the pages to load separately instead of on the same page or in the same window or tab?

i'm also curious as to why you're using separate html and swf files... it's far easier to have one html (or php) file and one swf file with multiple move clips. not to mention you don't have to have the users load a bunch of different swfs into their cache to see the same site...
