Hello all I am trying to learn AS3 and have encountered my first snag in what I thought would be an easy navbar I’m making.

I have my swf in an iframe called ‘nav’, and when clicking on a nav button I want to change the contents of ‘main’

Here’s my frameset:  
\<frameset cols=“120,\*” frameborder=“NO” border=“0” framespacing=“0”\>  
\<frame name=“nav” src=“nav.html” scrolling=“NO” noresize\>  
\<frame name=“main” src=“welcome.html” scrolling=“NO” noresize\>  
\<noframes\>  
\<P\>Your Browser must support Frames to view this site.  
/noframes\>  
\</frameset\>

I used to be able to use getURL to change an iFrame  
i.e. getURL(“home.html”, “main”) , but this function is no longer supported…

Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method getURL is no longer supported. For equivalent functionality, see flash.net.URLLoader. The [flash.net](http://flash.net) package also contains package-level functions navigateToURL() and sendToURL()…

I looked into navigateToURL, URLRequest, URLLoader but cannot see a way to pass the iframe name.

Am I missing something, is there a way to do this using navigateToURL, URLRequest, URLLoader?

Any help would be appreciated.
