ll i want to do is open my .php pages in a \<object\> area of my web page instead of having it open in a new window…

[www.savvasfellas.com/o3m/content](http://www.savvasfellas.com/o3m/content)

the actionscript in my flash buttons is pretty simple

on (release) {  
getURL(“home.php”, “contentframe”);  
}

I’m quite new but surely this shouldn’t be that hard.

I’m having to use the object tag because it has to validate in XHTML 1.1 i was using the \<iframe\> tag which worked fine…
