BUG: navigateToUrl always opens new tab in browser, also when window parameter is specified
I have a problem navigating to a Url in the default browser in an Adobe Air project.
air.navigateToUrl(request, windowName) launches the browser and displays the page, but it displays a new tab for every request.
Here is a very simple example that shows the problem:
Flex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
NavigateToURLExample();
}
public function NavigateToURLExample():void {
var url:String = "http://www.adobe.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, "testWindow");
}
catch (e:Error) {
// handle error here
}
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:Button x="169" y="165" label="Button" click="button1_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
HTML:Javascript:
<html>
<head>
<title>navigateToURLTest</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/air/AIRAliases.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" target="testp" onclick="javascript:air.navigateToURL(new air.URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com'), 'TestWindow');return false;">Same Tab</a>
</body>
</html>
How can I open the url in the same window/tab?
