path back to a flash/html file not working 1

[zickler]

I have a html file called index.html and a folder called content. The index.html file contains a index.swf which has a button with the following script
on(release){
getURL("./content/publishedwork.htm");
}
The folder content contains publishedwork.htm, this html file contains the flash file publishedwork.swf which has a button that should take you back out of the content folder to the index page. The script I have on this is
on(release){
getURL("index.htm");
}
My problem is that the button works from the index.htm file to the publishedwork.htm but it does not work back from the publishedwork.htm to index.htm Would be grateful if anyone could tell me what is wrong with the actionscript on the second button that is preventing this?
