Controlling iframes

1

can it be done? i’ve heard that fscommand can be used to control iframes, but haven’t been very successful with it myself.

here’s the setup:
[flash banner]
[i1] [i2]
[flash footer]

the navagation is controlled in “flash banner” changing “i1” (iframe 1) and “i2” (iframe 2).

heres the code i’m using on the buttons:
[COLOR=crimson]on (release) {
fscommand(“parent.I1.location=‘home1.html’”);
fscommand(“parent.I2.location=‘home2.html’”);
}
[/COLOR]

when pressing the “home” button on the nav, it loads home1.html in i1 and home2.html in i2 as listed above.

any help would be much appreciated, thanks :slight_smile:

use getURL with ‘target’ set as the name of your iframe :slight_smile:

i’m using MX, what would the code look like for it using ‘target’? i can’t seem to get it to work…

heres the code:

on (release) {
getURL(“home1.html”, “I1”);
}

it will work, i tried it (wow my first helping)

-oh and can someone tell me how to post in actionscript format; i tried but when i pasted into the thing that came up it only pasted the first line…

To post in AS format, surround your code with “as” tags:
[*as]code goes here[/*as]
(only without the asterisks).

what you could do is have one iframe with a page that has w iframs in it -
but what everybody else was saying should work
