[osflash] Usability Questions for Flash and Text

[Martin Heidegger]

I attached a example: In my Firefox 2 it opens the link in a new tab
(context menu):
Its should open in a new tab in opera as well (of course) and in IE you
should get a new Window (as well as in Firefox < 2)

The Firefox 2 settings can be found at:
Settings > Tabs > Open new pages in: (*) new Tabs

In addition to the attached example: Here is the source:

var my_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

function openInNewWindow(obj, item) {
    getURL(obj.targetHref, "_blank");
}

function openInThisWindow(obj, item) {
    getURL(obj.targetHref);
}

my_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Open in new page",
openInNewWindow));
my_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Open in this page",
openInThisWindow));
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();


var mc:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("test", 1);
mc.beginFill(0x888888, 100);
mc.moveTo(50, 50);
mc.lineTo(50, 300);
mc.lineTo(300, 300);
mc.lineTo(300, 50);
mc.endFill();
mc.menu = my_cm;
mc.targetHref = "NewTabTest2.html";
mc.onRelease = function() {
    getURL(this.targetHref);
}

Just for the example.

greetings
Martin.
