getURL opening in new window instead of frame

Kevin_Diamond Jun 5, 2007 4:20 PM

Using Flash for a website for the first (always been just a backend php, asp, java programmer) and having the most frustrating time with what should be the simplest thing. I have a button that on the mouse down is supposed to load a link into another frame, but instead it opens a new window with the link. In the html file I have an iframe defined with the proper name, that matches the name placed in the actionscript. What am I missing?

Here is the HTML Code:

<iframe src="home.html" width="766" name="mainFrame" frameborder="0"><iframe>

Here is the Actionscript Code:

on (release) {
getURL("new.html", "mainFrame");
}

Thanks a lot for your help!

I can help you there:

on(release) {
getURL("new.html","iframe","GET");
}

Although if you have a name for your frame, it MIGHT be:

on(release) {
getURL("new.html","mainFrame","GET");
}

Although personally I'd just keep with using a regular iframe without a name.
