open links from swf in same window

[stefaneh]

Hello,

I have a map with hotspots as an swf file. I used snagit to make this file, this program let me only ad the url but the < _self > code. to open in the same window. Anybody has an idea or is there a script around for a swf file to force the clicked links to open in the same window

Thanks

This is one trivial task, but I don't really get in what editor your working. Maybe if you could upload your *.fla file I could look into it.
Anyway flash absolutely has a choice availiable for the link target and even the self one


example of a button function in flash:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.exampleurl.com/", "_self");
}

hmm I hope this helps, if no, pls provide more info or the file itself

Thanks for you answer. I am using SnagIt which only produce a swf. file as output but not a fla. file. I even got in touch with support form SnagIt. there is not option.
However I was able to decompile the swf file. In the action script producet by SnagIT the links look like

as you can see now I have a href I can edit but I am still not sure how and where this" _self code" needs to go. Would be great somebody can show me it on one example

Thank you

See what happens if you add target="_self" to the tag.

No luck so fare I have tried a few option but no luck. Just in case here is the code of the whole action script.

I attach 2 files. The first (hessen.zip) is the file (swf) which the program SnagIT produce. The second is a fla file I created with a Decomplier.

I really like to use SnagIT to make the files as I have to lot map like that to do and except the _self problem is great and fast to use.

Any help would be fantastic
