Using HTML frames

[BunnyBoiler]

I've got my web page set up to use frames. There's a navigation frame and a main frame. For the navigation I wanted to use flash for the buttons. So you'd click a button the right page would appear in the mainframe.
What command do I need to use for the buttons to send the URL to the main frame?

I've done...
on (release) {
getURL ("products.htm"
}
but this puts the required page in the navigation frame - replacing the flash menu. How do I get flash to put the right URL in the main frame?

Thanks

Adam

You must add the frame name to your getURL...

Thus, if your main frame is named mainframe in your frameset (it must be named something!), use the following:

on (release) {
getURL ("products.htm", "mainframe"
} Regards,

oldnewbie,

Thanks for this. I realised as soon as I'd posted the message what a fool I was being. Sometimes you just get blinded from looking.
Thanks for your help.
