You should check out this tut:

All of my first Flash sites’ links go to “\_blank”, I wish I knew about this before. You can open your windows in customized windows. I think it makes flash sites look cleaner.

i saw that tutorial… couldnt figure it out… didnt work on my movie… i’m not very good at code (just ask anyone who helped me get my stupid footer on here) i’m more of a “copy actionscript from tutorials and change it a bit to suit my own needs” kind of guy… i dont actually understand any of it…
