How good are you? A tricky flash 4 and frames page question

[mccreaj]

HI, <br>I'm trying to use frames with flash and it's not working too well.&nbsp;&nbsp;in the left border, I have a flash movie of buttons that I want to link to html pages in the main frame.&nbsp;&nbsp;But whenever I click the buttons, it loads the referenced page in the same frame, losing the buttons.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the properties of the button I've given it a 'get' action, typed in the url to get, and in the 'window' parameter entered '_main', but still no joy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there any paramater or switch that will specify getting the url in the main window of a frames page and leaving the original left frame as is??&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>hope this isn't too confusing!!&nbsp;&nbsp;If you solve this one, I owe you a beer

I feel a thirst coming on!<br><br>It is a mismatch between your frame request in flash and your frame name within the frameset.<br><br>If you are requesting an on release get newpage.htm in frame _main, you need to name your main frame as _main if you see what I mean.<br><br>Check the frameset html source code for the entry:<br><br>&lt;frame name=_main src=&quot;main.htm&quot; target=&quot;main&quot;&gt; and ensure that name=_main

nice one - it worked perfectly, but I had to leave out the underscore for some reason, so it was just &lt;frame name=main src=&quot;main.htm&quot; target=&quot;main&quot;&gt;<br><br>thanks again, <br><br>if you ever visit dublin . . .<br><br>
