GetURL spawned new window doesn't have a parent

Question

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.

Answer 1

I think this is an html/javascript issue. I don't think
GetURL is not going to create a child window, just a plane ole
window, so there is no opener associated with it. That window would
have to have been opened by the other window and named EMMWindow
before getURL filled it up with something.
You may have to communicate via javascript to get the page to
open the window as an opener.
Of course, I could be wrong.
