I want to nest an I frame in the middle of na SWF. I’m trying to build a site with a Flash interface but I need the content to be updateable for the end user. He only knows HTML so I want the content to load into the i frame when the buttons are clicked. Any ideas on how to set this up? Or any suggestions on other methods?
NOT YOU SINTAX… NO YOU TOO!!!
LOL…
Iframes can’t be done in Flash.
You could put it in a new layer (HTML Layer) and use CSS to position it statically where you want it, but I don’t recommend that.
You can have your buttons link to inside an iframe, but you can’t put an iframe in a movie… as far as I know.
K so I guess to put a table around it and put the sef’s in the surounding cells. Oh well
The clint is a very small business who can’t aford updates so I have to make it easy. Other wise i wouldn’t be touching them.
Ewww I frames get them off:P
LOL… I actually am getting to like iframes.
Using them in my site now as part of my experiment kinda got me hooked on them.
Frames I do not like… iframes can be useful :-\
Do they have the same draw backs as normal frames? do you just target tem to load content? what is the deal?
You can target them and load content like any other frame.
You can put them anywhere in your html file.
They are great for posting your news area on your main page while still having room for other stuff.
You can size them however you want of course.
Regular frames have more drawbacks in my opinion.
Hey there,
Generally iframes are pretty good for their purpose, but you do exclude some people from viewing your site. Netscape, and I think Mozilla [since it uses the Gecko engine, which Netscape uses] users couldn’t see it/would have problems because it’s an IE specific way of displaying info. I haven’t tested iframes with Netscape 7 yet, maybe they included that in there. Just something you should know incase you’re planning on using them in the future sintax.
Btw, that footer is ■■■■ stylish.
Cheers,
Uth 
Iframes work fine in Netscape.
I have only started using Iframes since Netscape 6, but they have worked since then.
They work in both NS and IE… so you don’t exclude too many viewers.
Yo,
Just so we understand each other (don’t want another argument on my hands), I’m only saying they don’t work well because of experience. I have netscape 6.2 installed on my comp, and I tested your site out (since previously in the thread you mentioned the use of iframes, so I figured I might as well use it and not fish around for another site that does). The scroll for the content works, but your menu disappears (at least on my computer… maybe it’s just mine that’s messed up).
Also, something else I thought of after I went to your site. Your splash pages says "works in IE 5.5+, “**Netscape will NOT work! **”
But hey, if I’m wrong then by all means correct me. If they can be viewed by all the browsers properly then I’ll have to start**(edit)** using them for work. 
(/edit)
Have a good one,
Uth
OHHHH, the scroll effect is the reason why it doesn’t work… not the iframes.
See, even the navigation scrolls, and since my code doesn’t work in NS, my menu dissappears.
The iframes are fine, they work perfectly, its the scrolling that doesn’t work in NS.
my bad, my bad.
Looking at the wrong thing I guess. I’ll have to look around for some other sites to test and see how they compare. (generally I test anything personally before putting it into practice at work).
Anywho, have a good one.
Uth
I assure you it works
I have viewed other sites in Netscape that have iframes just to test this myself when I started using iframes (before I realized my scrolling script wasn’t NS compatible)
