Hey everyone,

I have this site I am updating and I have a little issue. I made a button that navigates to a URL with a \_self target. Well, in the script, i have it like this:

```auto
clickhere2Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myHandler);
function myHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://app.playmakercrm.com/register/eNortjK0UjJWsgZcMAkeAcs!"), "_self");
}

```

the “\_self” isn’t working on the page, but when i take out the target, it works just find, it opens in a new page which i don’t want.

You can check it out here

```auto
dev.myhomecaresalescoach.com

```

and watch that flash header for about 30 seconds, theres a button at the end that reads “Click Here” try clicking on that and it wont take you to the URL.

Is the code wrong or something?
