Opening pdf in New Browser From Flash

IE changes original browser window to blank screen

[knochadoo]

I am trying to open a pdf in a new browser but maintain the page from which it was launched in the original browser. It works fine in Safari but in IE the original browser turns white (with [Objekt] written on the page). To get back to the website you have to click the backbutton which starts the flash movie all over again from the beginning. I am assuming that I am leaving something out of my Javascript that IE needs.

Are you opening with something like this?:

getURL("http:www.whatever.com/my_pdf.pdf", "_blank");

I've written it like

getURL("http:www.whatever.com/my_pdf.pdf", "_blank");

and also tried

getURL ("javascript:openNewWindow('http:www.whatever.com/my_pdf.pdf')");

try this;

javascript:window.location.replace(link)
