Actionscript 3 and _self

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get a page to load in the same tab, instead of creating a new tab (like HTML target=""_self" instead of _blank)

I've tried a few different things I've found on different forums, nothign seems to be working though

This is what I'm trying..

function gotoManitoba(event:MouseEvent):void

{

var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mydomain.com/flash/?p=44");

navigateToURL(targetURL, "_self");

}

MB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoManitoba);

It doesn't return an error, but the link doesn't work at all as long as the "_self" is in there.

The problem with your posting is most probably not of your doing, it appears to be another fluke of the currently errant forums... below is an image of what your posting looked like until I spread the window out to about 1600 pixels wide.

As far as your problem using "_self" goes, are you testing on a server?  What you show is the correct way to implement it.

Here's why I was saying to repost...

Oh I see.. Well it doesn't look like that on my screen, this is strange. I've reposted it here

But to me they both look the same, and I have my screen width at much less then 1600px wide.

Thanks for your help.

By the time I had finished replying to you, which was shortly after I brought it to the attention of those who are fiddling with the forums, I noticed the issue had gone away.
