Can Anyone PLEASE help me?

I REALLY need to find out how to add a 'Target' tag to a button so that the URL comes up in a particular frame of a web site.

I can do it manually using HTML
<A HREF=&quot;blah.html&quot; TARGET=&quot;Blah&quot;HideFrames>BLAH</A>

but I don't know how to in Flash
...If someone could help me it would really be appriciated.

ALSO...when typing in the URL for the button in Flash...do you have to type the FULL URL or just the short version???
eg: &quot; as opposed to &quot;blah.html&quot;

ANY HELP WOULD REALLY HELP ME OUT

Thanks People.
 
hi
First of all, you dont have to put in the &quot;http//...&quot; stuff provided that you're in the right location.

To load a page into another frame just use:

On (Press)
Get URL (&quot;yournewpage.html&quot;, window=&quot;target&quot;)
End On

...where &quot;target&quot; is the name you have assigned to the frame into which you want to load a new page.

Hope it helps
