GetURL fails on Runtime Library button

Question

After years of estrangement, I'm embracing Flash once again.
I have a little project I'm working on, but have faltered right out
of the gate...
I created a shared library with a single, relatively simple
button with a clip in the over frame. For the button symbol, in
Linkage I chose:
Export for runtime sharing
Export in first frame
URL: shared_lib.swf
I published the library, then closed the .fla. I created a
new test.fla and chose "Open External Library" and surfed to the
shared_lib.swf.
The shared library opened as it should, with my simple button
available. I dragged the button to the stage of the new test.fla,
then checked its properties. Sure enough, "import for runtime
sharing" was selected. I tested the movie, and the button (and its
rollover clip) worked perfectly.
Here's where it fails. I assigned an action to the button
on (release) {
getURL("
http://google.com", "_blank");
When I test the movie, the getURL action doesn't work.
As a test, I created a new button, this time in the local
test.fla, and applied the same getURL action That button works. So,
why does the getURL action work on local library assets, but not
assets that are shared at runtime?
