getURL("javascript:"); not working in FireFox?

[jacktripper]

I've seen a number of posts about Firefox issues with getURL, but nothing addressing calling javascript with that command.

I have a button in Flash that calls

getURL("javascript: hideMovie();");

which basically runs a simple script to set the DIV to hidden. It works fine in IE, but in Firefox it does nothing. No error messages, no nothing.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.
