FLASH: javascript error: the same line worked fine in Flash 4

[Natalia Usselman]

Hi, everybody

I have  a script for  a pop-up window from flash movie

(from Flash 4)


getURL


in the URL window there is 

javascript:window.open('16_CDN.pdf', 'window','menubar=no,scrollbar=yes',

location.href="#")


When I opened this movie in Flash 5, I got some strange characters by the #

sign


getURL

("javascript:window.open('16_CDN.pdf','window','menubar=no,scrollbar=yes',

location.href=\"#\")");

the pop-up does not work anymore, and the debugger is asking for a bracket.

If anyone has any idea, I'd appreciate that.
