I am currently creating a website using iframe - the left menu bar loading all the content into a specified layout cell ("contentframe") within a table.
The menu bar on the left will hold flash text links but when inserting the flash text there are only four possible target options for it to load in to e.g. _parent _self etc. No where can i tell the links to load into the "contentframe".
In the flash code there was no mention of the target so i could not modify that.
Im aware you can name frames and tell the links to load into them but as im using tables and cells this is not possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
well in flash go to the geturl and add _targe="contentframe"
youll have to type it in manually. That should target your iframe, if not ill see how i did it a short time ago.

Thanks for the reply Deecee.
In Flash - do u mean in the flash code or in the flash program because im using Dreamweaver not flash.
Below is the code in dreamweaver for flash text but nowhere in that code does it specify the target?
Thanks again.
