Does anyone have any clue how to do this.

I have a Nav bar that i made in flash and I want to link it so that when i click on one of the movie clips it opens a html doc in a frame.

I have

homeNav.onPress = function(){
gotoAndStop("home"); getURL("news.html","_content");
}

in action script

and

<frameset>
<frame src="home.html" name="_content" width="550" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowtransparency="true">
</frame>
</frameset>

in the html.

So one would think that it would just work, but of course it doesn't.

If someone could please help me i have been trying to do this for about 2-3 hours.

Thanks

i just tried the tutorial and i don't think it works for flash 8. I did exactly what the tut said and it still opens in a new window :-(

Try removing the underscore (_) before the name. I dont know if it will work, I dont normally do this..

try making it..

Document:

<iframe src="thefile.html" id="main" width="550" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>



actionscript:

homeNav.onPress = function(){
gotoAndStop("home"); getURL("news.html","main");
}

No underscore should be needed. and if that fails, try making the link in the actionscript the full http://www.yoursite.com/file

Wowzers i tried that and no luck. i think it has something to do with javascript linking the flash and the html, anyways i just made that whole section flash instead of having it open an html doc. thanks for the help tho.
