Pop ups from link

Hi,

I am extremely new to creating websites, I knew nothing three weeks ago. The
site I have built is www.alecq.com the problem I am having is that after much
trouble I managed to create a button in flash CS3 and export it to Dreamweaver
CS3. The links work, however when pressed they open in a new window. How can I
do this so that when a link is pressed it opens in the same window.
I hope this makes sense. Below is the code I used in Flash for one of the
buttons:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var getportfolio:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Untitled Document");
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pclick);
function pclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getportfolio);
}

I will now show the relevant code from dreamweaver:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=9,0,28,0" width="62"
height="27" title="About Alec Quinton Male Model Bristol">
<param name="movie" value="Buttons/About.swf" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="Buttons/About.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="62" height="27"
allowScriptAccess="always"></embed>
</object>

I would be so very grateful of some help, please keep it simple though, my
knowledge is minimal! Many thanks in advance.

My page doesn't use frames, I haven't learnt those yet.

Everything works as intended except the links opening in new windows. I just
recieved this advice:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=9,0,28,0" width="62"
height="27" title="About Alec Quinton Male Model Bristol">
<param name="movie" value="Buttons/About.swf" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="Buttons/About.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="62" height="27"
allowScriptAccess="always"></embed>
</object>

The new bits of script are:
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
allowScriptAccess="always"></embed>

I'll try it now, thanks for your time. Do these alterations mean anything to
you?

No luck. Set allowscript to always in Dreamweaver and set as3 to navigateToURL(getportfolio, "_self");
Still opens in pop upss. What a nightmare. Do you believe this is unsolvable?

Wait until you've been at it for 3 years to do that. It's not worth the
effort at this point.

Only that you shouldn't use Flash buttons. Ever. Please reconsider this.
