Ok I have made a site that needs to have different galleries (swfs) loading in from an XML text field. The problem is if I use the XML command to open a new swf it opens in a new window and I can’t have that. Even if I type ‘\_self’ it opens a new window.

\<a href =“images/live/granby.swf” target="\_self"\>GRANBY\</a\>

I know there is a way of setting up a few nodes in XML with a name and web address, then somehow getting Flash to list these in a textfield, then having the gerURL command to make them into clickable links. As you can see by the vagueness of that last part I have no idea what the XML or Action Script would look…

Does anybody else know!??
