I have this strange problem that started to happen recently, and have no idea how to fix it.
In Adobe Animate I created an animated HTML5 banner in HTML5 canvas, with button in it that leads me to an URL when I click that button.
But the problem is when I click that button it opens multiple new tabs instead only one. (Like this in the picture)
The way I created a button is on a new layer i created new rectangle with dimensions of whole canvas,
converted it to a new symbol (button), double click it to enter that symbol, and created a keyframe only on HIT state.
Then returned to "Scene 1", clicked on a button, put an instance name on that button and in code snippet wrote this code:
this.btn_name.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage() {
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");}
(ofc instead of adobe.com I put my own URL)
This method worked for me until now. But all of a sudden this problem started to appear.
I tried in 2 different versions of Adobe Animate (2018 & 2019) but the issue is still here.
And the interesting thing is that problem occurs only when I select "Loop timeline" in "Publish Settings..."
Without "Loop timeline" checked it works just fine.
I'm really stuck in limbo with this

To make sure, try writing your code in one of the following ways:
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage()
{
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");
}
if (!this.started)
{
this.btn_name.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
this.started = true;
}
OR
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage()
{
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");
}
if (!this.btn_name.hasEventListener("click"))
this.btn_name.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
Please let us know if the issue goes away.
