Note: When playing within SWiSHmax, Get URL Actions are not performed

URL

You can specify an absolute or relative URL of the file to load. If you do not specify an absolute URL for the file, the Flash Player will assume the relative URLs are based on the URL for the currently open .swf file. When running in a browser, you can override the base URL using the 'Base' option on the HTML Export Panel.

Note: When you specify a URL to a separate web page, you need to include "http://" before the "www." in all external links.
 
Window
You can specify an HTML Target Frame to load the file into. This is not the same as a Frame in the SWiSH Movie, but rather an HTML Frame. You can leave this blank if you do not understand HTML Frames, or simply want to replace the page that contains the Movie with the specified URL.

The default window options available are:
·_self = This will open the specified link within the same frame (or the same window if no frames are present).  
·_blank = This will open a new browser window and load the link specified.  
·_parent = This will open the link within the current browser window regardless of frame settings.  
·_top = This will open the specified link in the top-level frame (can also be used to escape the current frameset).  

Variables
·Don't Send = This will stop the getURL action from sending any variable information to the link specified.  
·GET = This method is used to add the variable information at the end of the URL (best for minimal variable information)  
·POST = This method will send the variable information in a separate HTTP header (best for long strings of variables)  

In the example below, the browser will load the URL "http://www.swishzone.com" in a new window when the mouse button is pressed inside the current Object.
