    Hi guys, i'm using buttons to link my site together but the problem that i'm having is that whenever someone clicks on the button it opens up a new tab. Any help would be brilliant.

    Here's the code:

    on (press) {getURL("index.html", "_main");

    }

    Thanks

    You shouldn't use flash for site navigation.

    The answer to your question is probably to swap "_main" with "_self" - but please reconsider using flash for your site nav.

    Hi Eoin, thanks for your reply, the flash buttons are only placed on the footer of each page, i have the header all in html. Thanks again

    Flash is a great technology for video, animation, games and the like. It is inappropriate for almost all websites including buttons even if they're in the footer.

    To say the same thing in a more positive way - there are many libraries that provide really nice navigation using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. They can provide many of the Flash effects, but in a way that's more appropriate.
