Hi all!

Got a problem with links in flash - I’ve been making several flash websites that need to be linked together.

I’ve created animated buttons with rollOver and rollOut effects and used this code

\*\*on (rollOver) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(“h1”);  
}

on (rollOut) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(“h2”);  
}  
on (release) {  
getURL(“restaurant\_index.html”);  
}  
\*\*  
now the problem is that yesterday it all worked perfectly (the links were working like a charm in both IE and Firefox), and today they don’t work, now am I crazy or what.

I’ve noticed that when I write \*\*

on (release) {  
getURL(“restaurant\_index.html\_blank”);  
}  
\*\*  
it works but I don’t want pages opening in another window.

Please note that the sites I’m working on are not uploaded, so all files are on a hard disk (but that should not pose a problem)
