flash (macromedia): I'm fairly new to flash (used to be decent with it, but I've had about a 2 year
break).

I created a menu header that has buttons that are supposed to link to their
corresponding pages in my webpage. I added the 'open webpage' action to the
button with 'upon release' slected for the action starting point. When I load
up the SWF file everything runs fine - the menu animates and sets itself, and
all of my buttons are clickable, but when I click on any of the buttons nothing
happens. I think part of the problem is going to be that I work with iframes
and I have to manually change the defualt "_blank" tag in the actionscript to
"ifrm1"... but shouldn't it work regardless? Is there anything else I could
be doing wrong or is there a specific way you're supposed to link flash buttons
to an iframe?

thanks

Hi,
Can you show us a copy of the code which you are using on the buttons.
Cheers

on (release) {

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://www.greenless.com/philliplybrand/news.html","_ifrm1");
//End Behavior

Sorry that was a typo. It's not like that in the actual code I'm using.

I've also tried changing the target to "_self" and "_blank" and neither of
those work.

Does this have something to do with the 'stop' command that I have on there to
stop the movie from looping? Will the buttons' actions still work after the
movie's been told to stop?

No, the buttons still work. The stop() doesn't stop actionscript, just the
playhead.
But let me ask you a basic question. Are you testing from your local machine?
If so, upload to a server and try again.

I have been trying it locally from my machine both inside my HTML editor in the
'preview' mode and with IE opening the HTML files. I can upload it and give it
a try, but why would that make a difference?
