Hello gents,

I’m relatively new to flash, and I’m currently building v3.0 of my personal website. Because this is the fanciest yet, it’s also the most complicated. Here’s my problem:

The main page is HTML with 3 \<div\> layers.

layer 1 is the main background.  
layer 2 is the body of the current page content and has an iFrame within the layer  
layer 3 holds a flash nav menu.

layers 1 and 3 are permanent and should not be reloaded after initally loading the site.

I want to get the flash menu to load HTML pages into the iFrame in layer 2 for viewing.

I’ve experimented with getURL, but it loads the HTML content pages into a new window instead of my iFrame in layer 2.

Is what I want to do possible? And if so, how is it done? Alternative methods will be considered.

Thanks in advance,
