I’m trying to have my buttons open in the current window but it doesn’t seem to work.  
Please help!

Here is my code:

var getAlabama:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“[http://www.plazadvisors.com/2009%20Site/italabama.html](http://www.plazadvisors.com/2009%20Site/italabama.html)”); “\_self”;

AL\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alCLICK);

function alCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{  
navigateToURL(getAlabama);

I’m I missing something here?

Thanks in advance!
