*.swf with URL link wont work unless made to open in a new browser window. Help!

[madtommy]

Hello all... I'm doing some graphics for a community forum site, using the latest version of vBulletin.

I have a swf file with a built in button/link to a url. However this link wont work unless i tell it to open in a new window, ("_blank"). I want it to open in the same window ("_self").

This file/coding is correct... it works as intended on my html test page. link to test page (the moving image on the top of that page links to a new page and opens in the same window.

However using the same file in vBullentin the link does not work site i'm working on. Its like the button is disabled. If i change _self to _blank or simply remove it, the link works but opens in a new window.

Thanks for any help, guidance or ideas.
