Hello everyone, first time poster, long time watcher - great tutorials on here! BUT I cant find what I need, so…

I have made a flash menu, and I have a webpage with a floating frame in it called mainFrame.

When ever I click on the flash buttons, for the new pages to load into the frame, the pages always open up in a new window - doesnt seem to matter what I do or what page i try to load, it always happens. Here are a list of all the different bits of code I have tried:

on (release) {  
getURL(“pages/home.html”, mainFrame);  
}

* * *

on (release) {  
getURL(“pages/home.html”, “mainFrame”);  
}

* * *

on (release) {  
getURL(“pages/home.html”, mainFrame, “GET”);  
}

* * *

on (release) {  
getURL(“pages/home.html”, “mainFrame”, “GET”);  
}

And I have also used POST.

I currently have the first one in this list, but I might as well not have it at all as it doesnt work lol

Thanks for looking at my problem, looking forward to your suggetions!

Cheers

Chris
