Hey Flashmonkeys,

Just wondering if anyone can help me out, I’m working on a portfolio site, and I need to figure out how to dynamically load up a jpg in a new window when a user clicks on an icon of a one of my pieces.

I know this is possible using html tags in text, but I would like to avoid that route.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Why don’t you make the icons into button symbols then use a getURL on them?

[AS]on (release){  
getURL(“urlToImage”, “\_blank”);  
}[/AS]
