    If you mean a frameset, a getURL, for example, would target the top frame's name. Thus, if your top frame was named "mainframe", a call from the the named "bottomframe" would be something like this:

    on(press){
    getURL("http://www.yahoo.com/","mainframe");
    }

    Ok, that answers part of my question!

    The other part is, how do you control a movie clip from another frame? i.e move it to a certain frame or have a movie clip play on mouse over?

    thanx
