actionscript-2

I have several flash movies that need to redirect to an external website at the end of the presentation. In any browser (firefox, opera, etc.), getURL("http://www.google.com"); works but in IE versions 7 and 8 it just hangs.

I need to use Action Script 2 because I have alot of code that doesn't work in AS 3.

Thanks!
