Makking buttons open a url in a different html frame.

[Xerond]

How would I make a button open a page in a different html frame? You can find an example of the site I'm developing at www.dreamlangames.com/trav/

Target the frame name from the button.

on(release){getURL("myPage.html","left");}

Well I put:

"./newsframe.html","main"

or

"./newsframe.html","mainframe"

and it says it cant find the above lines when I hit the button. What am I doing wrong?

How is the whole action of your button?

I've also tried mainFrame(which is that it's called as a frame on the home.html page). It either doesn't open the window, or it opens just the newsframe alone. I need just the mainframe to change and to leave the header & menu frame alone.

code:

---

on (release) {

  getURL("newsframe.html", "_main");

}

Now it should work if your frame is called "_main".

The reason I have the ./newsframe.html is because it is located a folder up from where the .swf is.

(folder)newsframe.html < (folder)Menu.swf

In that case it should be:
"..//mainframe.html"

No I'm sure, its not the page I'm targeting thats the problem. It's targeting the frame to open that page is what I need to get.

Uh, I am confused. Sorry to say but my English sucks. Look, here is an example (I made it long ago for a web page). Don't you mean this?

[Poco]

...because if you mean, (I see I forgot to put there the fla there) the action of the button is

code:

---

on (release) {

getURL("onas.htm", "mainFrame");

}

If not, I give up.
