nav bar and loading movies

[sle2002]

I am creating a website where the navigation will be a flash file and the rest of it HTML files that may or may not have flash movies in them.

Say i have 3 frames. Top (with the navigation), middle (most of the content)and bottom (photos)

I want to be able to click on one of the links on the navigation and have the two other frames populate at the same time.

Is this possible and if so, how? And how many frames or areas can one link/button populate at the same time?

Any help that you can provide me would be great. My company laid off all of my resources and i am now the loan web designer/developer.

Thanks

i could well be wrong but i think that you can only target one frame at a time.

on (release) {
getURL("html_file", "_top"
}

try targeting more than one and see what happens.

reason I think only 1 is that html_file above refers to an html page to be loaded into a target frame.
there may be variants on this......have you considered cross posting in an html section ?

Cross Posting? Hmmmmm..........i don't know what that is.

So what does one do if you have designed a page like that? Re-design it?

Just using:

on (press) {
getURL ("main.htm", "frame1"
getURL ("pic.htm", "frame2"
}

will work Regards
