can't link to self

[OferG]

Hi!
Can anyone see a reason why When I put in this code I get buttons that do nothing? Not even sending me to the url in a new page.

var url1:String = "necessity.html";
var request1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url1);

bl1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ftemp3);

function ftemp3(e:MouseEvent):void{
try {
navigateToURL(request1, "_self");
} catch (e:Error) {
trace("Error occurred!");
}
}

If you're using standard button, you can't add MouseEvent.CLICK to it. Use ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN instead

thanks, but I'm using MovieClips for the buttons

[caseyryan]

What's the structure of this movie clip?
Does it contain any children?

[OferG]

Its an imported png file I f8-ed into a MovieClip- nothing special. I also applied a code to make it grow on mouse over and get small again on mouse out and it works OK

[Guilhermedidi]

have you tried running it without this mouseover effect?

[ifmi]

it shows me

SecurityError: Error #2137

so if you are using the _self, then try not use _self, but some JS workaround

Flash -> button -> click -> JS -> redirect page
