Need Flash Button help. Open new page

[ClemsonTigerACC]

Hi I'm new to flash.

If i have a flash navigation bar. What actionscript code would i use (2.0) to tell a flash button to open up another page of my site inside the same window?

Currently I'm using

on(release) {
getURL("URL will be here/the page i want", "_blank");
}

Now I know _blank tells it to open up in a new window.
But i tried _self and it wont work

Is there a better code that I can use because i do not want it to open up in a new window.

Anybody who replies I deeply Thank

Code: Select all

on(release) {
getURL("URL will be here/the page i want", "_blank");
}

Change it back to _self, just leave the "" off of it. When I do this it opens in the same window.

Are you using an absolute or relative path to the webpage you want to display?

Cheers,

I'm currently using an Absolute Path I guess... It's not hosted yet so its current testing path is

on(release) {
getURL("file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Master%20Robbie/Desktop/The%20Bill%20Wheel/characters2.html", _self);
}

Just running it off my desktop for now

I tried your _self without the "" and it opened in a new window again.

Should I be using a relative path?

Also, what would be the correct way to code a relative path to a site page?
