So I have some buttons in my web site that go to other web sites but I really don’t want people to leave my site.

Is there a code I can use so browsers get the option to open the button in a new tab

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)”)  
}  
This is the code I use (let’s say it links to [www.myspace.com/benbear76](http://www.myspace.com/benbear76))

Because if I right click the flashbutton all I get is the zoom in,zom out etc options.

Anyone ?
