inactive popup on release

Question

I've created swf file using flash 8.0 and added button with the following action script:

on (release) {
     getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
} 

Now once I click the button, it should after release it trigger window for website http://www.google.com, but this window become the active one while the window where the swf file become inactive, so, I wonder if it can be opened without be the active tab.

Here is an example: test SWF file.

Click on blue button, it will open new active tab http://www.google.com and the tab with the SWF file be inactive!

Answer 1

Change the second argument in your getURL method to "_self". This should open the link in the same tab.

on (release) {
     getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self");
}
