  Can Flash Project weblink open web page in same window?

  Posted by Aidan Crook on January 12, 2010 at 3:48 am

  I’m using Adobe Encore CS4 to create a flash menu system, where one of my menus is 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 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!
