Indesign CS5 add attribute to _self link button?

Question

I created a presentation in InDesign CS5 version 7.0 with video, images and a button that I exported to swf files. The link works, but the button not it open in the same window as the SWF plays.
So, how do I add the _self attribute to the button link?
I tried to open the file. fla professional flash but does not work ..I do not know the use of software
decompile the swf Actionscript 3.0 the link string is:
<Actions>
<URL F="1" t="HLnk1" e="u" u="http://www.edilmglatiano.it/home.html"/> <f URL = "1" t = "Btn1016" and = "d" u = "http://www.edilmglatiano.it/home.html" /> <PlaySeq f="1" id="PI182_Seq_1" e="pl"/> </ Actions>
how can I modify it by adding the attribute _self?
the link of the site is

thanks

That would be nice little improvement to InDesign´s button tool, hopefully it will  be implemented...=)
In the meantime you can do something with Flash Professional, but other way around what you have tried... instead of trying to de-compile SWF indesign has produced, you can actually create your buttons in Flash, instead of using indesign´s buttons panel. After you have created your button with _self parameter, you simply export it as SWF and File>Place it to indesign. Choose it and open Media panel and set it open on Page load and pick up the poster from current frame (or use any image as button appearance if you wish). That way you can create button that opens your link to same browser window.
And if you have little bit more time (and patience) you can use a little magic of javascript and add an element called modal window to html-wrapper file that holds your main SWF. Then you can create a button in Flash Professional and use externalInterfaceCall method to call the javascript that opens your links on the top of the page... very web 2.0...=)
Here´s a quick sample, it´s exported from indesign and wrapped up with eDocker... that trick should work without eDocker as well:

You can explore the source code of html-wrapper with your browser. You will find all the fancyBox files from
