Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

Question

Hello,
I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5.  I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window.  I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created.  I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance

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.
