On your button, place a geturl action. Just fill in the url and target and it should work fine.

Here is the code to put on your button:

```auto
on (release) {
	getURL("page_to_load", "frame_to_load_into");
}

```

Its self explainitory but if you have any questions just holla back!

</div>

when i do what u said it doesnt work it just acts as if i had this code:

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}

When i Use this code.

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”, “mainFrame”);  
}

I substituted “main” “\_main” and “\_mainframe” for the “mainFrame” part but none of them makes it work either. the page is at [www.geocities.com/raptoriansite](http://www.geocities.com/raptoriansite) if u want to see it. i want one of the gems at the bottom to load a new page into the middle frame.

I did buttons on my page like that, and being a flash expert doesn’t mean I have to be surfing the forum 24-7 to answer questions, I’m starting my senior year and I had registration this weekend so sorry for any delays, I will look more into it tonight and post back with a reply!
