Hey, I have a flash navigation on an HTML site. When I click on a button in flash I want it to bring up a new page inside an Iframe. Is there anyway where I can get the on release command to send a variable to the browser to bring up that page in that frame?

```auto
getURL("./mypage.html","iframe");

```

hey i got another possibly tricky question because I just decided to do this all in flash. OK ill try to explain this the best and non confusing as I can. I have my main scene that loads my navigation under the loadMovieNum(“homesub.swf”, 1); and i also have a load under loadMovieNum(“main.swf”, 4); that loads my actually gerth of the page. Now thats all in a movie called final.swf What I want to happen is the homesub.swf will boot aswell as the main.swf but when I click on buttons in homesub.swf I want new stuff to apear in main.swf I tried to have this on my buttons  
on (release) {  
unloadMovieNum(4);  
loadMovieNum(“homeaboutus.swf”, 4);  
}  
But the orginaly main.swf doesn’t go away and the new page just loads on top of it. Is there anyway I can coomunicate between the final.swf and homesub.swf to load more movies on final.swf’s leve 4.
