Hi,

I’ve been trying to make a menu in Flash. It goes to the URL specified, but the problem is this:

When you open the Flash movie in a web browser, all the menu links pop up, as pop-up windows. Pretty soon, there’s about 20 windows open.

Here’s what the “Actions” tab looks like for one of them:

On(Release)  
Get URL=(“home.html”)  
End On

If anybody could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I’m pretty new to flash as well. I had that problem just now and i fixed it by changing from “\_blank” to “\_parent” on the window dropdown box below the URL dropdown.

I worked for me. Hope it does for you too.
