Hi all:

If I use navigateToURL('someURL'), it will a new browser window. Is there a way I can load 'someURL' in the same browser window of my application?

Thanks,

How to close the child window from parent after using navigateToURL(url,"_blank")?

You can't close any child window from ActionScript. At most, you could try playing around with Javascript and see how you can call Javascript functions from your application ( using the ExternalInterface ) and in turn, that Javascript should try to close the window you want.
