Flash command to open up page in .html

#1 05-19-2008, 04:10 PM

Hello - I have created a site with frames for a client (against my suggestion)
but they wanted it anyway. It has a top frame and a bottom frame. The top
frames has all the options buttons in it "home" "about us" ,etc.
When the click on these I need their associated .html pages to load into the
lower frame. Top frame is indexTop.html bottom frame is indexBottom.html.

What do you add to the usual command (below) that doesn't have frames to
achieve this

on (release) {
getURL("thispage.html");
}

Thanks for any help,
Eric

Hi,

As far as I remember I did something similar few years ago and the point was
to use something called iframe.

Mayme this link will help you:

Although it refers to Flash 5, the solution might work in most recent versions
of flash. You should also remember that frames are considered a bit "ancient"
these days.

Hi WojciechF - thanks for your reply. I also did something similiar about 20
years ago as well. ;-) But I forgot what I did, so this refreshed my memory.
Gotta go w/ what the client wants, they will probably have the only site on the
web w/ frames.

Thanks again - Eric
