Hey everyone,

Im trying to achieve what should be a simple task. I have written a function in javascript which resizes and changes the source of a HTML iframe. Now I need to activate this function from a button in my flash movie. I have looked at heaps of tutorials on how to do this, but I just cant get it to work. I am using flash 8 if its important.

My javascript function is as follows:  
function resetframe() {  
framechange = document.getElementById(‘results’);  
framechange.src = ‘…/frametest2.html’;  
framechange.height = ‘800px’;

}

which works fine…

Now my actionscript on my button in flash:

on(press) {  
getURL(“javascript:resetframe()”);  
}

If someone could help me out that would be awesome.

Cheers.

Grant
