[CS3] navigateToURL with "_self")

Hi there,

I've started a web page and have a flash menu on it and am wondering the best way to hook up the buttons to other url's (index, profile, services, etc.). Should I just put in an actionscript action for each button or is there a way to do them all in one actionscript?

Next it's my code that doesn't work with "_self" only works with "_blank" and that is my problem, I need the urls to display in the same window.

......................

ins_ini.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var targetURL:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("http://romulocantorjimenez.com/");
navigateToURL(targetURL,"_self");
}
trace("I am clicked");

.......................

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance...

have you tried using getURL(targetURL,"_self");

^ That won't work because he is not using AS 2.0 but 3.0;

PHP Code:

var urlTarget:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.plenarycreation.com/"); this.btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick); function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(urlTarget, "_self"); } // end of onClick

Your code looks ok, no idea why it's not working, it should.

I don't think that has anything to do with it, but to keep your html code cleaner and valid, you should embed your .swf files with SWFObject. http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

Nothing with flash it's only dreamweaver...

My flash code it's ok, the problem was with the "allowScriptAccess" parameter in dreamweaver...

Here is the code that works ok:

Hello,
Sorry for digging this thread up. My flash animation opens a new window the first time and then the rest open on the same window. You can try it at www.houstonpremiumdoors.com. I have used the "_self" and tried setting the allowscriptaccess. Can you please help me make it always open on the same window. This is what it looks like:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="766" height="273" allowScriptAccess="always" vspace="0" align="absbottom">
<param name="movie" value="flash/flash.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="LOOP" value="false">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<embed src="flash/flash.swf" width="766" height="273" vspace="0" loop="false" align="absbottom" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed>
</object>

Well I figured it out. I needed the quotation marks around _self. So the code should say "_self" instead of just _self.

I got the _self to work but it doesn't work with; Bottomframe or other selfnamed frames!
anyone know why?
