hello,

I have a reasonably simple problem. I want to link from a movie clip to a url but I want to make it load the url in the same window…

The code I have already opens a new indow every time. It is as follows:

var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/index.php");

thingy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, homeboy);

function homeboy(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
navigateToURL(link)  
}

thanks in advance.
