Two javascript commands; only last one loads

[erinql]

Hi gurus!

Flash newbie here.

I've got the following ActionScipt, which only loads the second window when on the server:

on (release) {
	gotoAndStop("txt1");
	getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('mov5.html','thewin','height=275,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')");
	getURL("javascript:openAlertWindow('im_alert.html','thealert','height=225,width=225,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')", "_top");
}

What I want, is the quicktime movie to start loading, then another window asking the user to please be patient while loading.

It works fine locally on a 'Test Movie', but on the server I only get the last URL - either works fine, but only the second

getURL();

pops up.

Is there some sort of break required between

getURL();

or javascript: commands? Do I need to use only one

getURL("javascrtipt:...");

and combine them? If not, how can I troubleshoot what's on the server?

Thanks,
Erin QL

You could try opening the second popup with an onLoad event from the first popup's html.
In other words, you only call the first popup, and the second one (the alert) is called from within the html opening the first one.
