is everything in the same folder? Are those files located in your root folder? ---

If the flash embeded in an html page? You might have to create the html page in DW so that the site manager can keep track of all the links! ---

the drop down menu was inserted into a layer on a Dreamweaver page. All of my file i’m trying to access is in a root folder name •software\_eng• in a sub folder call •who• and the file name is •cmm.htm•. ---

your problem might be in your flash code. if you have buttons embed into a movie clip you need to say [AS] on (release) { \_root.getURL("…/who/cmm.htm", “\_self”); } [/AS] ---

the \_root worked thks. But a new problem has arisen. After I select the file •cmm.htm• located in the •who• folder, I select another link from the drop down named •process• but for some reason it can’t find the file. The address in the bar comes up as \software\_eng\who\who\cmm.thm but it should be \software\_eng\who\cmm.thm it’s referencing 2 •who• folders? Why would that be. thks ---

also check for gaps and speling mistakes, upper and lower cases, these things things will throw u off. If u believe the code is right, chances are there might be a tiny little error sumwhere in the speeling of the url ur specifying.
