window opening problem..... weird

this is the button actions:
on (release) {
getURL ("java script:window.open('community.htm', 'newWin', 'fullscreen=yes', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no')");
}

It opens the correct window with the called for attributes, but when i close the popup window (community.htm) my main movie with its associated html page, are gone and this is in it place:
[object]

the url address didn't change and if i rt click the "strange" page i get this:
[object]

What's going on, why did the movie's html turn to this html page?
 
I get exactly the same problem. My code is slightly different since the window called has a script to handle resizing and positioning etc.

BTW this only happens on a windows machine. The calls work perfectly on all the Mac systems I've checked them on.

What happens is that the original movie window is replaced with the "[object}" "page".

I've asked around and have no idea why this happens. Seems like a pretty basic call.
