Flash Frame To Frame link 1

[killbuzz]

Hi all! I have a flash navigation bar on the lefthandside of my website and i have three Frames in my index.html site. (Top) (leftHandSide) (Center) What i want to do, is have the lefthandside frame with the flash be able to click on the buttons and it send a command to open the center frame up to what that link has without having a popup. Whats the java script for that i have looked everywhere. Im making the site with DreamWeaver

PS the flash on the lefthandside has 5 buttons in it. I need all of them to be able to open the center frame up.

Thanks

Wouldn't know about Dreamweaver, but my guess is you can establish a frameset within Dreamweaver the same way I usually do it by hand. Once you're frameset is established, simply target your center or main frame on your Flash buttons with that frame name. If your center frame name is main then use something like this:

on (press){
getURL("

http://www.yahoo.com/",

"main"
}

Or...

on (press){
getURL("my_movie.swf", "main"
}

That first example would be:

on (press){
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com/",[/URL] "main");
}
[code]

...Without the extra ";" Tek-tips added on my first example.

the target like i said is main....or whatever name you have the frame as...the big frame or bottom or right frame is always main unless you change it.

what the HTML from my website?

 

[oldnewbie]

Yep! Only way to check what you've named your frames in your framset!

 

[killbuzz]

HTML WAS E-MAIL TO YOU

 

[oldnewbie]

Didn't get anything yet!

From your html...

<frame name=&quot;topFrame&quot; scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize src=&quot;Top.htm&quot; >
<frameset cols=&quot;187,596&quot; rows=&quot;*&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;Side.htm&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;mainFrame&quot; src=&quot;Center.htm&quot;>


So I gather that your main frame's name would be mainFrame, and that's the name you should be using in your buttons in the side frame.

on (press){
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com/",[/URL] "mainFrame");
}

Or...

on (press){
getURL("my_movie.swf", "mainFrame");
}

Regards,
And might I be blessed with your vote!
