So I am having 2 issues with trying to do the coding for the buttons on my site and I'm hoping someone can help me. With both issues I'm useing the precoded option for "Click to go to web page"

The first one is when I am trying to link a web page that is in a subfolder from where my pages are I get this message. I know the links are right because I copied them right from the address bar on the browser.

The second is I want the pages to open in the same tab but they are opening in diffrent tabs. I have searched the internet and tried replaceing the "_blank" with "_self". I have tried getting rid of the blank all togeather and I have gone thru the help forms and tried everything on there.

Oh and it would probibly be usefull to know that I am using Flash cs6.

What code are you using for the link to the subfolder.

As far as the same window scenario goes, have you tried testing on a server.  You should be using the "_self" value for the window argument... the default is a new window.

Ok I don't know why the self thing wasn't working earlier but it is working now. Here is an example of the subfolder linking.

Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_13);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_13(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("\portfolio\index.html"), "_self");
}
Portraits.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_28);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_28(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("\portraits\index.html"), "_self");
}

Try changing the links to exclude the intial backslash, and try changing the remaining backslash to a forward slash
