Hi

I have a flash movie in an html page that automatically plays the 1st half of an animation then stops. When the user presses a button the 2nd half plays and then opens another html page. I’ve used “\_self” but the html page always opens in a new window. How can I get the new page to open in the same window?

Thanks!
