I can’t seem to get the buttons I have created in flash to open in the same window… i’ve tried

1. leaving it with no target
2. 

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.mysite.com/](http://www.mysite.com/)”);  
targetPath("\_self")  
}

1. 

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.goldenlayouts.com/](http://www.goldenlayouts.com/)”, “\_self”);  
}

ANy help?
