flash (macromedia): I have beeen trying all afternoon to get links in my FLash movie on a home page
to open within the same browser window to no avail (it seems). I have tried
_parent, _top, _self and it still opens new windows. Can anyone shed some
light? They are all absolute links BTW.

http;//www,coralwater-us.com

_self is the correct target parameter, and should be used like so:

//from the timeline, must be in quotes

my_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL( 'http://thedomain' , '_self');

Thanks cbeech - after looking at your code, I realized I was enquoting the url only and not the window as well.
