flash (macromedia) : getUrl action script: problem sending link to html frames


a false notion
1/14/2004 11:32:11 PM
i have been having a problem using buttons to send my links to another html frame in an html file.

i just started using flash mx 2004 professional, but i have used flash mx before, and i know that this should work (because i have done it before).

i am pretty sure that i have the correct actionscript applied to the buttons, and i don't know why they are not working.

when i try the links just in the flash player, they all work like they should (they pop-up into a new window, because it is just the flash file, and no frames), but in the html file, none of the buttons work.


the script is applied to the buttons looks like this:
on (release) {
getURL("news.html","main","POST");


}

is there something i am doing wrong?, or something else i have to do to make the rest of the buttons work?

thanks a lot!

[quoted text, click to view]

first , POST is use for variable communication between flash and midlewear like ASP or CGI or PHP.
You don't use it in simple get URL action.
Second , the name MAIN is reserved word and should never be use . Give your frame unique name than ,
such as ABCmain .

getURL("news.html", "ABCmain");
