just a question, i’ve been trying to load a url into an iframe and it doesnt seem to work (any more).  
i specify the target but it loads in a new page.

i’ve tried this code on a basic button:

```auto
on (release) {
 getURL("phoenix/index.html", "frame2");
}

```

or this (AS2)

```auto
 getURL(this.__url, "frame2");

```

but neither work.

what am i doing wrong?
