Hi, i have this problem. I’m importing a flsh made menu in a topframe in DW. The page in Dw has 2 frames (top and main).
I would like the flash menu to open the linked pages in my 2nd frame (the main one)
I set the action to each button as follow:
on mouse release
geturl: 0main.htm (the page i want to load)
target : _ffmain.htm (the targeted frame)
It works but the loaded page comes in an other window
What is the right syntax for telling the target MUST be my main frame in the page?
Hello,
That is dependent on what you named the main frame that you targeted to. Check to make sure that the frame name is targeted correctly. Check your HTML page to see that all hyperlinks haven’t been defaulted to “Open In a new Window”. Those are the common problems. If none of those work out, please send me the URL, and I’ll try to see how to go about solving your problem.
I hope that helped. If you have any further questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reply back.
i found out the problem and i’ll tell for the pleasure to know always more :-Ö
The problem was the the targeted frame was “ffmain” with a corresponding page name ffmain.htm
IN SETTING TARGET : ffmain.htm I made a mistake…
I should have written
TARGET : ffmain So the target must be the name of the frame not the page!!!

Thnks again kirupa
Now the next step is to make a layer in the main frame (ffmain) and to tell the loading file to go there instead of where it wants in the page.
Could you tell me, before i loose time, if this is possible?
Hello Udin,
I really don’t know. I’m not really that knowledgeable in HTML. What you may do, is create an iframe. Iframes are frames inside a page. That should allow you to use the iframes as regular frames. The iframes can be the shape of a square etc. They will not take up the whole window like regular frames either.
