Hi, I have got a site with frames. On the left frame I imported a flash menu and now I want to link the items in that flash menu to the right frame so when clicked the information appears in the right frame. How do I do that??? check [http://www.geocities.com/alien19802002/](http://www.geocities.com/alien19802002/) to see what I mean and this is what 1 have under the buttons for example: on (release) { getURL (“[http://www.meerevents.nl](http://www.meerevents.nl)”,“rechts”); } ---

hey if u make your menu and then import it into wotever ur makin ur site in i use dreamweaver as u can just insert the flash and it does the code for u but frontpage just put the code in and if in DW it will tell u where the page will be opened it will say main or \_self etc so change that 2 main and it will open in your right frame it should work i can give u the code but im at college so ill send it later -Tom ---

Ok, this is what i hope you have done. You have two framesets. One on the left, with your flash menu, and one on your right, to show your html content. The coding is done in Flash. This is the coding you put on your buttons, ill explain the coding later: on (release) { getURL(“yourfile.htm”, “framename”); } ok, “yourfile.htm” is the name of the html page you want to open on the other frame. the other thing, you must give the right frame a name, in dreamwaver. Lets just say you called your right frame “rightFrame”. Lets make up a scenario. When you press the button “horeca”, you want the “horeca” page to load up in the right frame. So this would be the coding in your flash button: on (release) { getURL(“horeca.htm”, “rightFrame”); } Hope this helps! Let me know! Its 2.20 am here in Sydney, and im up! 😛 ---

yeah thats the one dave if u still get stuck put actions into normal mode click get url then choose your target ie the frame and it will say on load so click where it say on load and put it on release and the name of the link then if it hasnt got the frame u want like main or right put it into expert by clickin in the top right and then edit it yourself -Tom ---
