Help my flash buttons on my site for navigation open each page in a new tab. I don't want new tabs to open. The code I have used in flash is

blue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.wildroomsmediadesign.co.uk/portfolio.html/"));
}

blue is the name of my button. I think I need to add self or parent or something bu don't know where? Thanks!!!!

_self = same window, _blank = new window;

is what i use in AS2. It might work like this:


blue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.wildroomsmediadesign.co.uk/portfolio.html/", " _self"));
}

or if you have a frame, you might swap out "_self" with "_myframe" or "framename" or whatever it is you named it. Flash cannot open a website into a movie clip or itself, but it can open a website into a targeted frame (I think).
