why would the same files be working differently?

Hello Everyone...

I need help in understanding why my files are working differently when viewed through a directory or on the root level of a server... if you look at these two urls:

http://illumastudios.com/

and

http://illumastudios.com/SaraWEBwork/

they are the same file, even the same index.html file yet on the root level the services navigation opens a new window to view the html pages , where as the SaraWEBwork directory works properly and replaces itslef with the html page. I have the buttons (on the service sub menu only) scripted like this in flash:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.illumastudios.com/IllumaStudiosNav/studio.html", window="_parent");
}

Can someone please explain why when opened on the the root the window="_parent" command does not work?

Thanks!

because it tries to get the parent of the current url. Check if the adress of the browser is only illumastudios.com, then user window="_self" instead of parent, else use the _parent.
