Make Button Open Link In Browser (Flash)

[flyoffacliff]

Hello,

I know is is probably a really dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I am using the demo now, but I will export to flash when the project is finished. I have a button in my project that I want to open a link in a new browser window/tab. How can I do this? Thanks.

A question if I may. Will the mentioned link go to another website in the new browser window?

Thanks,

The Flash Object has an action, Open URL, and this will open in a new browser window.

Okay, thanks. And what is the difference between the different options:

* Current Window
* Parent Window
* Top-Level Window
* Target Window
* New Window

Thanks.

Current will open in the same window/tab your game is in, so you'll leave the game. It is also the only one that won't be caught by popup/ad blockers.

Okay, thanks. But I really don't want it to open in the same window. What do the other options do? And what is the chance of that they will trigger a popup blocker? Will this occur in any major browser, or just Internet Explorer?

Thanks.

New Window should open it up in a new window. Don't know about a popup blocker, you'll have to test it.

Thanks, but does anyone know what these do?

* Parent Window
* Top-Level Window
* Target Window

Thanks.
