Hi I am trying to create a hyperlink to a html page. I have my Flash document, which is obviously published within a html file. My links however, seem to open new windows. I have tried adding \_self but it claims it’s only asking for one variable.

I have just thought about this for a long time, and I figure that perhaps it’s because it requires the document to open in the flash window somehow? Either way I just need to know how to fix it.

Here’s a link to the site [www.alexanderfinanceservices.com](http://www.alexanderfinanceservices.com)  
I used Flash CS3, hence AS3.0

Your help is muchly appreciated, cheers,

and even if you can’t help I guess it would be nice to know what you have tried so we can both see what we’ve eliminated 🙂
