i haven't seen the fla, but i would bet that you're using getURL
function, so just use getURL('your link','_self');

Maf,
I see what you want to do. You want to keep the menu on the screen on one
side while the menu comes up on the other....
Are the other screens SWF files or HTML?
If they are HTML (im guessing this is what you want), you have to build
your web page in HTML also using frames. Then you can direct your new pages
to come up in a specified area while keeping the menu file on the page!

Take care,
jr

Pedro is right on the money.

If you are going to do any actionscripting what-so-ever, you may want to
think about investing in an actionscript book. These range in price a great
deal, but for as little as $12 you can get "ActionScript for Flash MX,
Pocket Reference" published by O'REILLY. They go up to ~$90 for advanced
actionscripting manuals. I use the pocket reference myself.

It is extremely beneficial and time effective to have a hard copy
actionscript reference guide. Just looking up getURL in th book tells you
that the getURL method takes two arguments - the URL, and the *target
window*. In your case you want target window to be _blank. However,
acceptable choices for this argument are:

_blank, _parent, _self and _top.

Happy scripting.

[Mike]

I have a flash menu that I want to start in a different place depending on
the page.Is there actionscript to find out the name of the page?
Thanks
Mike.

I have made a simple flash menu for my web site, and now want to assign the
URL's to the buttons, I know that I have to assign an action script but how
do I do that in Flash MX 2004.

Thanks in advance

Tom,

Select the button once (don't click it twice) and then open the actionscript
window. If you type 'on(' it should give you a list of options. You want to
end up with

on(release){
getURL('http://www.yahoo.com');
}

If you click the button twice, you will open it up to edit it. You just want
to select it and assign a URL.

[manlio]

i'm trying to put in my web layout a div including a flash menu;
my problem is that when i link a page from my menu...the layout
reloads and so the menu is loaded again (inside the menu i put an
actionscript for remembering which menu voice is clicked, but
reloading the menu.swf file the menu is 'reset' ), is there a way not
to reload the menu.swf in the div?

thanks
manlio
