I’m trying to get a getURL for a button in my flash file. I know how to open a new window, but how do I make it so that the link opens in the main window?

So basically my flash file is inside a pop-up window and the button when clicked on must open my link inside the “parent” frame.

Hope this makes sense. I just don’t know how to do this and would really appreciate some guidance on this. Thanks so much 😃 😃 😃
