I've ran into some trouble here. I've got my Flash navigation bar with all mah links to my pages. Now, when the user clicks on the link I want the pages to load in an IFrame labelled content.

Now, I've added the following Actionscript to my buttons:
Code: 
on (release) {
    getURL("./home.htm", "_content");
}
When I embed the Flash file into my HTML and try the links it won't load my pages up in the IFrame. :(
 
Can you post some sourcefiles so I can get a beter idea of what is going on.

Treat the link exactly as you would with a normal iframe. - If thats not what you are doing already.
 
I found out the problem:

Code: 
<iframe [b]name="_content1"[/b] id="content" height="374" width="620" src="./home.htm" frameborder="0">
I forgot to add a name attribute to my IFrame. In this case I named it _content1. The name attribute is the part Flash looks for to load the file.

Thus, I add the following actionscript to my buttons in Flash:
Code: 
on (release) {
    getURL("./home.htm", "_content1");
}
 
I am having trouble getting my Flash movie to return to my home page after it plays. I tried get URL but when I place it in the dialogue box it doubles the address and I get an unknown address message after it runs? It can't find it ?
