flash in html frames

[urbanfox]

Hi All,

How do I use flash in html frames ?

My flash movie is the top navigation and I need it
to get the html pages in the main frame of my html page.

What actions do I use


Thanks

just insert your flash movie as you normally would in the html page that will appear in the top frame - then make sure that any getURL actions you have target the name of the other frame. when you set up your frameset, you will define the names of your frames - just make sure that whatever name you give to your second frame is what you use as your target for your getURL commands or whatever.

I understand how it works but I dont know how to target the html page with in the actions of my buttons.

for eg

on (release) {
getURL ("my url", "target\"main.html");
}

I know this is wrong but its just a eg of the combo´s I have tried.

don't target the html file. just target the frame name.
in your frameset file you'll have something that looks like:

>frame name="newframe" src="blah.html"...etc...<

just make sure that your target is to the same thing that you put in as the name parameter. kinda like:

getURL ("blah-2.htm", "newframe");

see what i mean?

Hi Deep,

I have got that to work but I need other html pages to load in to that that targeted frame.

All my navigation buttons are all targeted for eg "newframe" so How do I get for eg blah-3.htm to play in "newframe" I have tried just changing the url but it does not work.

Thanks again for your help !

it should just be

getURL("myfile.htm", "mytargetframe");

where myfile.htm is the file that you want to display, and mytargetframe is the frame in which you want it displayed. what is the action you're using right now?
