ok guys here is my question:

can I load a new html page into an existing window, but not the same window i am loading it from?

heres what i want to do:

i have an image gallery in flash, and i want to be able to click on each of the images and open a new html page in a window. i can use the getURL action to open a new window but i dont want a new window to open everytime i want to be able to use that one pop up.

is this possible?

i hope that isnt too confusing  
thanks
