Hey..thanks for ya help in the first place but it wont work for some reason.

It is a .htm file that I am trying to get to come up ..is that why?...should i change it to .html??????
Or am I doing the action things in the wrong place or screen???

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
On (Press)

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: ';' expected
Get URL ("personnel.html", window="Right&quot

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 3: ';' expected
End On

what am I doing wrong????

Omitting the "l" in html is not the problem! I have this in one of my .flas:
getURL ("merry.htm", "mainsite"
and it's working!
Maybe the missing ";" at the end of the getURL line!
Check it out!

hi evil

this seems to be pretty annoying for you. If you want to send me the html and fla involved I can jazz it up for you and get it working.

[li]Double-click the action 'getURL'[/li]
[li]The three options that appear below should be filled in as follows:[/li][/ul]
URL: the-page-you-want-to-load.html
Window: the-name-of-your-target-frame
Variables: Don't send

So if you had a 'home' button on your nav-bar and wanted it to load 'home.html' into a frame named 'right', your getURL actions would look like this:

URL: home.html
Window: right
Variables: Don't send

And thats it!!!
