Setting the target for a button

The target is the window or frame in which the destination web page appears when a button
instance is clicked. If you don't enter a target in the Property inspector, the web page appears
in the same frame or window as the link that called it. The target can be a symbol- or
instance-level button property. You can set the target for a symbol, so that all instances of the
symbol have the same target option.
To set the target for a button symbol in the Button Editor:
1.
Do one of the following to open the button in the Button Editor:
Double-click a button instance in the workspace.
In the Library panel, double-click the button preview or the symbol icon beside the
button symbol.
2.
Do one of the following in the Property inspector:
Select a preset target from the Target pop-up menu:

Enter a target in the Target text box.
Changing the target for a button symbol won't change the target for existing button
instances of that symbol that already have unique targets assigned to them. This also
applies to changes made to a button symbol's URL and alt text.
