Hi Everyone,

I am pretty new to kirupa, infact this is my first post.  
Anyways, I was hoping someone could help me with this question.

I have a text field that has an html link in it with target=‘display’.  
So what i want to happen is when the link is clicked, flash opens a new window called display, then when another link(with same taget) is clicked, it will use the existing open window.

The problem is that it keeps opening new windows.

I know that this works in html, but for some reason Flash is not using the same window.

Here is the code i have for the text field:

[AS]resInfo\_mc.link\_txt.htmlText = “\<a href=’”+GetterL.OutputLink+"’ target=‘Display’\>"+GetterL.OutputLink+"\</a\>";[/AS]

Thanks in advance,  
Noam
