Thanks to TheCanadian who posted the message below. This can be added manually to the right-click menu. There’s a tutorial for creating right-click menus at: [http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorials/flash/flash-customized-right-click-050321/page1.html](http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorials/flash/flash-customized-right-click-050321/page1.html)

GUI Designers: please add “Open in New Window” and “Save to Target” and maybe even “Properties” to your right-click menu in all of your Flash productions.

It helps maintain a consistent user interface imo.

ActionScript:  
PRE {font: normal 13 “Courier New”, Courier, Arial; color: #000000;;}[color=#000084]getURL[/color]("[color=#0000ff][http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)[/color]", \_blank);

BAM! New window! :?)
