Hello,
I’m not very fluent with AS3, however, I have successfully changed the following script from AS1 to AS3. All is working with the exception of the “target”. When I use “_self”, nothing happens. However, when I remove _self and click on the button (image), it opens a new window.
All of the tut’s I have followed have suggested the same thing, but it is not working for me. Any assistance with resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.
Here is the URL in question: http://design.1105media.com/sitecore/sites/THE_Journal/govConn/stimulus.aspx.htm l
And, the AS (below) I’m using. The first block of code is another attempt at correcting this, however, you’ll see that it is commented out.
Thanks again,
B
