Hi I wonder if anyone could shed some light on what I need to do with this
code I have tried everything I know and come up blank.

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 6, frame=115:Line 1: ')' or ','
expected

getURL(http://www.somestore.com/index.php" "_self");

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Since ActionScript is an ECMAScript implementation, the above is
syntactically incorrect. If "_self" is to be the second argument
to getURL(), you will have to delimit it with a comma:

getURL(http://www.somestore.com/index.php", "_self");

ActionScript is _not_ Flash, it is the ECMAScript implementation used *in*
Flash. And as such, plain ActionScript code is on-topic here; at least it
should be.

And don't forget the enclosing quotes:

getURL("http://www.somestore.com/index.php", "_self");

You are missing the first quote (just before http://)
getURL(http://www.somestore.com/index.php", "_self");

should be

getURL("http://www.somestore.com/index.php", "_self");

No, I don't. If you were not a Googlot who did not know the first
thing about Usenet, you would have replied and quoted properly which
in this case would have meant not to post at all since I had already
posted that correction (and you mindlessly replied to it with the
above repetition of it.)

No need to call someone an idiot, your English spacing overshoots.

Googlot = "Google monoglot",
someone that is not up to a decent news client.

It may be Swiss : "Hilfe für Kinder im Kongo".

At least it is not a proper word in standard written German (although it
might be in one of the various dialects). The first ten Google results
refer to it as an acronym for the name of a charity organization (HIKK --
[de] Hilfe für Kinder im Kongo -- [en] Help for Children in Congo), an
abbreviation for the city of Hikkaduwa (98 km south of Colombo, Sri Lanka),
and an acronym for a conference about cooperation between
universities/technical colleges and the industry in Austria ([de] HIKK --
Hochschul-/Industriekooperations-Konferenz). I also now it as a word for
the sound one makes when having a hiccup

Please ask further such questions in the appropriate newsgroup (you may try
de.etc.sprache.deutsch) or via private e-mail.
