Hello,  
I am a AS 3 newbie…I have a swf within a html page. There is a function that opens an html page when an object gets to a certain x position. However, when the object gets to that point the new html page (in \_self) opens over and over again and get stuck in a loop. Any way to escape this loop and what would be the best way to trigger this new html page to open when the x position of the object is true?

Code:  
a\_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, stop\_a);  
function stop\_a(event:Event):void  
{  
if(a\_mc.x\<71 && a\_mc.x\>69)  
{  
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(“[http://test.scheiner.com/advertising.html"),"\_self](http://test.scheiner.com/advertising.html%22),%22_self)”);  
}

Thanks in advance!
