Link Widget - open link in current window

CraigErickson — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:45:07 GMT

Can the compiled version of Robert Scheitlin's Link Widget (v2.5) be configured to open a link in the current window instead of openning in a new window?

Nathan,

Sure just change this function:

            private function init():void
            {
                if (configXML)
                {
                    linkURL = configXML.linkurl;
                    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(linkURL),'_parent');
                    setState(WidgetStates.WIDGET_CLOSED);
                }
                AppEvent.addListener(AppEvent.WIDGET_RUN, checkIfLinkWidget);
                //ViewerContainer.addEventListener(AppEvent.WIDGET_RUN, checkIfLinkWidget);
            }

Don't forget to click the top arrow (promote) as shown below:
