Hello everyone,

I have been trying to fix a specific problem with a couple of flash buttons I am trying to utilize in my site that I wish them to target a specific frame.

I have searched google, tutorials, manuals, forums, on-line helps… I have found a million references to the same problem and a million “suggestions” which seem to magically work for others …but not for me.

I have tried:  
[LIST]  
[\*]In button[/LIST] **on (release) {**  
\*\* getURL(“Main1.html”, “Center\_Frame”); \*\*  
**}**

* * *

**on (release) {**  
\*\* getURL(“Main1.html”, Center\_Frame); \*\*  
**}**  
[LIST]  
[\*]In frame[/LIST] **button1.onPress = function ()**  
**{**  
\*\* getURL(“Main1.html”, “Center\_Frame”);\*\*  
**};**

* * *

**button2.onRelease = function ()**  
**{**  
\*\* getURL(“Main1.html”, target=“Center\_Frame”);\*\*  
**};**

* * *

I have tried changing the frame names, I have checked a million times the names, ids, titles in html code…

I have tried:  
\<param name=“allowScriptAccess” value=“always” /\>  
Or  
\<param name=“allowScriptAccess” value=" sameDomain" /\>

…nothing

It always opens a new window displaying the **Main1.html.**  
Same behaviour in Firefox (2.0) & IE (7.0).

The funny thing is that the flush button from Dreamweaver works exactly as I want it but I cannot get it to display Greek characters that I want.

```
I am using Dreamweaver & Flash 8.

```

Any advice is more than welcome.:puzzle:

Thank you.
