Can’t get flash button to open link in a specified html frame.

I’m using this code:

> 

on (release) {  
getURL(“showreel.htm”, “mainFrame”);  
}

the button works and everything but the link get open in a new window:fight:  
not in “mainFrame”. I’ve checked that that frame name is :“mainFrame” and it’s.

any clue what’s wrong?

B.T.W i’m doing the tutorial from [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/frames.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../developer/flash5/frames.htm) and I get the same result… what’s wrong god what???
