Flash URL open in same window

Hello. I have a flash slide on my site. The slide has next and previous buttons to either move to the next slide or the previous slide. Each slide is only an image. When you click a particular image it takes you to the page specific to the image you clicked.
My issue is this:
When you click the image, it opens the page in a new window. I would like to have the window open in the same window, but having issues figuring out how to do it.
The flash is controled by an image.xml script. I've added target= "_blank" to the xml, but the URLs are still opening in a seperate window. Any ideas how to get this done? I didnt create the flash, is it possible the issues lies within the .fla file?
Below is a sample of images.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
     <pic>
        <image>imagesimage.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank"> http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
     <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank">http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
    <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank">http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
    <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank">http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
    <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
                <url target="_blank">http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
    <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank">http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
</images>

Ned, thanks for the resonse. I've changed the xml file from _blank to _self, but still openes in a seperate window. In Firefox it opens in new tab. In IE it openes in a completely new window.
I've cleared my cache, closed the browser, and tried again. Still openes in seperate window. Think its within the action script?

Open new URL page in same window

Hi all,
I am using LinkToUrl UI element for opening a new URL
page.
I did it successfully by giving the URL in reference property.
But the link is opening in new window.It should be opened
in same window instead of new window.
Any one can help me........

Hi
Use the target property of LinktoURL .
You can specify the window name where you want to load new URL.
Check the following Link.

Navigatetourl won't open in same window and in infinite refresh

I have a project that requires a skip button and to go to a specified url in the same window once the animation is complete. The button works, however the navigatetourl in the last frame is not behaving.
Here is the code I've placed in the last frame:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_EnterFrameHandler);
function fl_EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void
    //Start your custom code
    // This example code displays the words "Entered frame" in the Output panel.
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/dreamweaver/graded_assignments/index.html"), "_self");
    stop();
    // End your custom code
I've tried moving it to an earlier frame, placing a stop in the earlier frame, moving the stop command to after and so on. No matter what I do, the new url opens in a new window and is in a constant state of refresh. I also have the loop turned off but the animation begins to load the first frame again anyway. Please help. I've tried many fixed listed in forums that are all about the same with no different results. You can view my animation here: http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/flash/graded%20assignments/myintro.html
NOTE: You will have to close the browser to get the refresh to stop.
I've been working on this one issue two days and am at a complete loss.

Any thoughts on why my button now won't open in the same window? I'm getting a sense the built in code snippets don't work as they should, or I'm just making silly mistakes. Here's the code:
btnSkip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Start your custom code
          // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/dreamweaver/graded_assignments/index.html"), "_self")
          // End your custom code

Open in same window and clean cache from swf + html file generate with InDesign CS5

Hi,
1)
I have a Indesign web file exported to swf + html.
In my document I have a button that point to url (this url is html file of a second Indesign swf + html).
When I click on button, the url was find an open in another window.
Is it possible to open this second url in the same window?
If yes How.
I think this information is in the swf file and not in html.(How modify the swf code?)
2)
How to clean the cache when you reload the url? (in the html generate file)
I'will very please if somebody of you could help me. it's Important for me.
Regards
Philippe

Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally. If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink. It can be anything from InDesign: a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea. Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though
Best regards John

Menubuilder- Open in Same Window?

I have the advanced link setting for my links as "Open in
same window." The links continue to open in new windows. Is this
feature not desinged to launch the files in the same window as the
menu. Please help. Thanks.

Hi MissDona
I'm going to say "it depends". Normally, this is the default
behavior. But it likely will depend on the output type you are
creating. For example (and I'm somewhat assuming you fall into this
category) if you create .EXE output from MenuBuilder, a new
instance or window always opens, as MenuBuilder packages up the
Flash Player inside the .EXE. Thus, this version of the player runs
from a temporary location and has no clue about other movies and
whatnot.
Cheers... Rick

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Can't get URL to open in same window

I am using Flash ActionScript3 - My banner has 3 images, each
displays for ~5 seconds. I have each image linked to a web page
with more info about each image. The problem is that I can't get
the URLs to open in the same window! Each click opens another
browser window. All attempts to resolve this using suggestions
found in my googling for the answer results in error messages. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's my script for one of the images:

In getURL you had a method parameter _self, look URLRequest
definition in Flash help to see if it receives a similar parameter.
_self is for link to open in same browser window, _blank is used
for a new window.

Force Flash weblink to open in SAME window as movie

I'm using Adobe Encore CS4 to create a project that I want to export to Flash. However, I want one of my menus to be replaced by a web site.
The goal is to have a flow such that:
Menu 1.
<User Clicks Item #1>
Timeline plays
user is forwarded to a website
I have implemented this as follows:
Menu 1.
Button 1 --> Timeline --> Menu 2
on menu 2, I set the description to:
<weblink href="webpage.html">
as suggested in the manual.
This works, apart from the fact that after the timeline ends, the flash movie goes black, and a new window is opened with webpage.html (which is blocked by popup blockers unless specifically allowed).
What I would like is for webpage.html to be opened in the same window, so that the flash movie is no longer visible.
I have tried modifying the description field to
<weblink href="webpage.html" target="_self">
but it doesn't help. In the generated AuthoredContent.xml, I've tried changing the <action> item:
<Action type='Link' url='webpage.html'>
to:
<Action type='Link' url='webpage.html' target='_self'>
to no avail. I can't seem to find any documentation on these fields.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm not aware to force this behaviour, but if it is a regular link you can drag the link onto the same tab heading you are currently looking at. Obviously this won't work for form submissions where there is no link to drag as such

Open a URL in the same window

Hi,
My objective is to open a URL when i click on a webdynpro iView in the same window.
I created a outbound plug in the InterfaceViewController.
And wrote this piece of code in wdDoBeforeNavigation() in Component controller.
wdThis.wdGetExternalComponentInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugGoToUrl(Url);
Where "Url" is a string variable contaning the value.
But when i run this piece of sode it gives exception
"Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!"
So what should i do solve this problem
Regards,
Paresh

HI,
Procudere to create the LogoffURL
In the Application properties add your URL name.
LogoffURL = http:
www.google.com
1.      Define an exit plug in the interface view of your Web Dynpro component:
                            a.      Enter a name and check the checkbox Exit Plug.
                            b.      Enter the name Url for the parameter and select string as the type.
This parameter is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly this way.
       2.      In your view, define the action Exit and add the event handler onActionExit().
       3.      In the view layout, define a button and bind its onAction event to the Exit action.
       4.      In your view, define the use of the interface view controller of your Web Dynpro component under Properties.
       5.      Insert the following code in this method of the implementation:
String logoffURL = wdComponentAPI.getApplication().getApplicationInfo().findInApplicationProperties("sap.logoffURL").getValue();
wdThis.wdGetTimeCompInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugExit(logoffURL);
OR Do u need to generate the URL by using the application?
Thanks,
Lohi.

Open url in the same window.

Hello,
How can I open a new window (e.g. url to sap transaction) but in the same application window?
I am using window manager in order to open the window but is there a function for opening the window not as external window?
Thanks.

Hi,

Open Url iView in same window but full screen

Hi ,
I have a requirement where i need to open the url iview in the same window but in fullscreen mode.
Also for eg if the url is www.google.com ,then the iview should look similar in terms of size as opened in the normal IE browser.Also the url on the portal should change to www.google.com and not http://servername:portnumber/...
Can you please help me in doing so.
Regards,
Preeti

hi,
maybe some text as url [ggpage|http://www.google.com] is what u need, not url view
A URL iView is a collection of meta attributes, one of which is the URL to the information source (see )Selecting the Source URL). A built-in browser available in the URL iView Wizard and Editor enables you to navigate easily within a Web site in order to retrieve the URL of the source Web page to display in the iView.
last word: " in the iView"

                                             (String)null);
navigateto is the pcd of your iview.
