flash actionscript: Hello,

I am working on a flash front end for a web based app (ColdFusion is the app server) and I have a "getURL" link with a target. The problem is everytime the button is pressed it launches a new window as opposed to populating the defined window that is already open...

If someone can help me...

Thanks

You may want to try creating a javascript function and calling it from flash using getURL...like this:

getURL("javascript:myFuntion(link)");

something like that may work better.

you must set target to load
put the second property of this function "_parent"

Thanks for the speedy posts...

I apologize for not making myself entirely clear...

the getURL looks like this:

on (release) {
getURL("/tcm/app/cfm/vertical_access_handler.cfm?vertical_code=TCA", "main");
}

what the problem is, is that everytime the user clicks the button (lets say 5 times in a row) it opens the link 5 times as opposed to refreshing the window (main) which is already open...

my thanks to the Flash community for your assistance in this matter...

try with

getURL("BLA.BLA","_parent");

I know I am a beginner at Flash but how in the heck does the get url work? I double click it in the actions window insert the url between the ( ) and then when testing it does this in another window
Symbol=PANEL4.1, Layer=Layer 5, Frame=10: Line 1: ')' or ',' expected
getURL(http://swssa.net/6/ubb.x?a=cfrm&s=464007265);

I know I must be making a beginners mistake, please help anyone. I just want it to pull a page thats already on the net up on another window.
