New Window from Flash Has No Parent

[stewati]

I have a Flash application that is opening a new window via getURL.

getURL("

http://www.microsoft.com",

"EMMWindow");

The new window has a link that triggers a javascript that attempts to redirect the parent window via

opener.location.href='x';

However, when that javascript is called, it returns an error that shows that the opener is undefined - e.g., the window that was opened is effectively an orphan - it doesn't know its parent.

Is this an issue with getURL or am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

From Flash, instead of opening the new window direct, call Javascript which opens the new window.
