Hi guys,

I have a strange problem that I can’t find any solution for.

In our Learning Management System we have a Flash front page that appears once the users is logged in. On this page we have a button that when clicked will go to the Course list.

The “Go to Courses” button is setup to navigate to “/course/index.jsp” and open this in a div called “arenamain”. This works in 98% of the cases but sometimes it will open the course list in a new blank window instead. This behaviour will continue until the user logs out of the system and logs in again (thereby reloading the flash front page).

I pasted the code below - is this not the correct way to open up a link in a div?

```auto
 
 
function gotoCoursesClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
 
trace ("Goto courses clicked");
 
var courses:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/course/index.jsp");
navigateToURL(courses, "arenamain");
};
 

```
