I have two buttons in a flash and on release it plays 3 rings going around them. I have a getUrl action at the end of the ring movie. I want them to be in a side frame in a frameset.

I also want them to open the pages in the main frame. How would I do that? I tried “, \_mainframe” after the URL and i tried “, mainFrame” but nothing worked.

Help please.

Ok. i got the trageting right but I want the getUrl to happen on (release).

Heres the error:

**Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Button-3, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler  
{getUrl (“Home.htm”, “mainFrame”); }**  
**Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1**

Heres my code:

**on (release)  
{gotoAndPlay (47); }  
{getUrl (“Home.htm”, “mainFrame”); }**

Thanks 😉

This should work: copy and paste[AS]on (release) {  
getURL(“Home.htm”,“mainFrame”);  
}[/AS]
