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
