Frames with Flash

DorXBasS · May 23, 2001

Hi, i've already post a thread in April about a menu in flash...

I just want to use a two-way separated window in my browser...
top = menu (that i named "a&quot

bottom = mainpage (that i named "b"

Everything is in ASP format...

My actions on my button are:
on (press) {
getURL ("

http://www.microsoft.com",

"b&quot

;
}
(microsoft.com just for test purpose hehe)

I also tried :
on (press) {
getURL ("

http://www.microsoft.com",

"b.asp&quot

;
}

And this always open a new window...i just want to redirect that link to my bottom (mainpage)

If you want to have a look:

The second part of the statement is reserved for the target HTML frame into which you want to load the 'URL'.

If your trying to accommodate the "

http://www.microsoft.com"

into an ASP script you would probably have to define it as a variable and use a loadvariables/GET action to put the name into the ASP script.

Do you get the idea?

This is the code...but i haven't write it, dreamweaver did

---->

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<frameset rows="164,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0" cols="*">
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="a.html" >
<frame name="mainFrame" src="b.html">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

well there's your problem then, the frame 'isnt' named 'b'. Your html page is named 'b' but your 'frame name' is "mainFrame".

change the following line:

Code:

<frame name=&quot;mainFrame&quot; src=&quot;b.html&quot;>

to

Code:

<frame name=&quot;b&quot; src=&quot;b.html&quot;>

LOL, I know what you're going through, done it a million times. The only way of being 100% with DW is to open the frames panel and click on each frame in the panel and set the properties. But then again, I suppose the only way to be 100% is to check the code after all is done and dusted.

don't work too hard

Ok, guys, I'm trying to work with frames, and/or tables here, but the problem is, I want to set up a mouse over that effects another movie. Ie. top frame has the button, it does it's mouse over thing, "not a problem on my end" the target frame based upon that roll over needs to display an image. Since they are 2 frames, or tables, they are 2 different movies that have to work together. I don't want to load a different page for each mouse over, nor do I want to "tell" the page to load something, I want to have both movies work in tandem on each frameset or table. I've seen it done in Java script, here is the url:

http://www.epiccenter.com/EpicCenter/custom/1077/frames.html

I just would rather figure it out in flash, hate java script since it is so cumbersom and takes forever to load. I've seen one tutorial that shows how to do it, but that was 6 months ago, and I can't find the link to save my life on it. any help with this would be helpful.. Thanks

Having a hard time figuring out how to get the Flash buttons in my left side Nav Bar to open the target page in the Main Frame (on the right). Any suggestions? I'm a Newbie working with Flash. Dreamweaver doesn't feature a Target=Main_Frame.

Thanks

Lori9,

Use this script on your button:

Code:

on (press) {
    getURL (&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/your.html&quot;,[/URL] &quot;mainsite&quot;);
}

...
"mainsite" being the exact same name of the frame id in your frameset.

Idnewbie:
Thank you! Where within the code should this be inserted? (Working w/ Dreamweaver).

That's Oldnewbie! Smiley stands for "O"!

This should be the actionscript you assign your button in Flash, not in Dreamweaver!

Lori9,

Correcting my above post:
"mainsite" being the exact same name of the frame name (not id) in your frameset.

;-)ldnewbie

WhiteTiger · Jul 20, 2001

LoL, Hey Yoda, I think you should elaborate some more on the name...or perhaps change it back to an O...

anyways...you seem very frusterated Idnewbie.
Regards,
AnthLOLny
