Hi!

I’m having a problem using getUrl, can anyone pleeease help??

I’ve written my own code and used code from here:

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}

Everything works fine while testing in Flash, but if you try to load a page into “\_self” whilst in a browser window, nothing happens. I’m sure this is something really simple I’ve missed, but what???

The code I’m using is from a function and goes like this…

//release instructions from function  
mc.onRelease = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(“down”);  
this.btnMask.\_x = btnOut;  
getUrl (link, “\_self”);  
}

//function call  
btnMC1.onEnterframe =  
function() {  
menuControl(this, “[http://www.google.co.uk](http://www.google.co.uk)”)  
};

Everything’s working fine, except loading pages into \_self. Can anyone please help??

Cheers in advance!!
