Hi, Ive nearly finished building a website for a college assignment, its built in Dreamweaver CS4 using html and css. I have attached a flash navigational menu and now want to link the images to the pages in my website. In the xml file used to edit the flash menu I had target="_blank" alreay in place and the pages open fine in a new window... but, when I change the _bland to_self.. so the pages should open in the same window but nothing happens when I click the mouse on the image!!! Does anyone know why this could be or has anyone had this problem before? P.S. THERE IS ALOT OF NOTES IN HERE! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <settings> <appearance> <object param="useRandomOrdering" value="0" /> <!-- 0 or 1. if "1", the image order will be randomized --> <object param="centerIfPossible" value="1" /> <!-- 0 or 1. if "1", the menu will check to see if it can center itself. only works if all the images fit inside the visible surface --> <item spacing="3" align="center"> <!-- spacing - the distance, in pixels, between two images. align - controls the position of the menu and the direction of the zooming effect. values are: "center","top","bottom","left","right". top/left and bottom/right are interchangeable --> <mainTween duration="0.7" delay="0" type="expo" method="easeOut" /><!-- the main tween effect that applies to the rolled over image (or to all rolled out). is secondary tween is missing, it's replaced by main --> <secondaryTween duration="0.7" delay="0" type="expo" method="easeOut" /> <!-- the tween that is applied to items around the rolled over image. properties that are missing will default to the main tween ones. --> <!-- type values: back, bounce, circ, cubic, elastic, expo, linear, quad, quart, quint, sine for a more detailed view of these types of transitions you can visit http://hosted.zeh.com.br/tweener/docs/en-us/ method values: easeIn, easeOut, easeInOut, easeOutIn for the linear type no ease function is available SOME transitions WILL create bugs or break the menu (the transition function may spiral the image sizes to 0) ! test carefully! --> </item> <rollOverEffect type="none" min="0" max="3" /> <!-- image effects: type values are: "none" and "blur". min is the default value, max is the value of the rolled over image. --> </appearance> <content> <menuItem delay="1"> <!-- delay - the amount of time the autoplay will pause on this image. overrides globalAutoDelay.

For want to open image in the same window you should not mention any target=_ code. Just remove this target="_self"/ in the code and your page will be open in the same window.
