URL Requset-want it to open inside current

[zdvdla]

I was trying to make the URL Request to open to NEW URL inside the current window (so the BACK button would work etc.).
As it is now, it opens a new tab in Firefox each time.
I want the navigation of the buttons to navigate like they would in DW.
Each link simply opens in the same window.
Is this difficult?
Thanks..

Are you using "_self" as the second parameter on your getURL?

tried many variations and none of them worked...
_self is not even in the AS3 help file..
what am I doing wrong??

If you do not specify the window in [tt]navigateToURL()[/tt] call it should replace the current window. Of course you can specify it as "_self" as well.

Sorry Ken...this makes no sense to me at all..

Btn_GemStones_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, link_gem);

var GemPage:URLRequest = new URLRequest
("

http://www.xxx.net/xx.html");

function link_gem(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(GemPage, _parent)
}

I get

Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _parent is no longer supported. Use the parent property instead..

navigateToURL(GemPage, "_parent");

It's a String.

By the way what I said was wrong. If you don't specify the window, Flash takes it as "_blank" and opens a new window.
