    Default Difficult one!? Target html windows from flash...

    Does anyone know how to target the parent window that launches a flash movie
    from within the flash movie?

    I want to close the flash presentation down and forward the parent html windo
    to a new url.
    So clicking on a button in the flash presentation targets the parent window
    formwards to a new url and closes the floating flash window.

    Your help would be appreciated.

    Use getURL (e.g. getURL("page1.html", "_parent");)

    Tried this - just launches the new url into the same window (working the same as _self).
    Thanks for your response - any further thinking?

    Do you want to open a new window and close the one the flash movie is
    playing in?

    If so why cant you just load the html page to self and save the bother?
