    I've followed the handy tutorial Colorful Menu with XML and Actionscript 3 – http://tutorials.flashmymind.c…..nscript-3/


    What I want to work out is, I'm having the menu system on every page of my website, and I want to know how to change the <linkTo> function to open the links in the same window instead of opening a new tab/window everytime a link is clicked.

    hi Kristov,

    function itemClicked(e:Event):void {

    //Get the item that dispatched the event
    var item:MenuItem = e.target as MenuItem;

    //Navigate to the URL that's assigned to the menu item
    var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(item.linkTo);
    navigateToURL(urlRequest);
    }

    the damage is done by the navigateToURL. the solution is to add a comma and the html call.
    in your case that could be: navigateToURL(request, “_self”);

    your itemClicked function would look like so:

    function itemClicked(e:Event):void {

    //Get the item that dispatched the event
    var item:MenuItem = e.target as MenuItem;

    //Navigate to the URL that's assigned to the menu item
    var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(item.linkTo);
    navigateToURL(urlRequest, “_self”);
    //_parent & _blank are known html instructions.

    //See more about this on http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/….._links.asp

    }

    Happy coding!
    Cool
