MySpace + Flash 9: New window workaround

How can I open new windows / external links from within my flash application?

MySpace requires users to have Flash 9 installed to watch their videos, but this prevents videos from being able to spawn new browser windows, thanks to the update.
To get around this, copy the code below into your flash application, and drop this file into your code folder.

<view id="geturl" resource="geturl.swf"/>

<some method>
_root.url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/linkyouwanttoopen.html";
geturl.play(1, false);
</some method>
