XML, Opening URL link in new window

[amberp813]

Is there a way to change the XML code of a template I am using to open a URL link in a new window? Currently, when I test my links, the link opens in the same window. Here is the XML code I am using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<thumbnails>
<thumbnail filename="banderas.jpg" url="banderas/banderas.html" target="_blank" title="Antonio Banderas Movie" description="Actor" />
</thumbnails>

I have tested it in IE and Firefox and in both browsers, the new window opens in the same window. I have also tried to use the target="_top" and it isn't opening in a new window, either. Thanks! Amber

can you make use of this method ?

url = new Array();
tgt = new Array();

var _xml = new XML();
_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_xml.load("test.xml");

_xml.onLoad = function(){
var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++){
url.push(nodes[i].attributes.url);
tgt.push(nodes[i].attributes.target);
}
};

// usage with getURL
// getURL(url[0],tgt[0]);

Hi! Thank you so much for the response. My next question is: where can I put this code? Can it go in the same xml doc that my other code was in? Or, do I create a separate php file? Amber

the code snippet posted above is for Flash.
the code goes on the main timeline of a .fla file.
