I’m pretty new with flash compared to the amazing stuff I’ve seen on the net… I have an issue that’s been bugging me for over 3weeks now!

:-\

How do I make a flash button open a page in a named frame of a frameset???

I tried targetting in every way: with the full address of the window, the name of the window, changing the flash movie options…

I don’t know if I have to put in something special for the target when getting the URL or not…

Can somebody help me???

:o

Use

[COLOR=blue]on (release) {  
getURL (“whaterver.html”, “frame name”);  
}[/COLOR]

So if you have 3 frames, top, bottom and left - and you want to load in left “frame name” would be changed to “left”.
