dreamweaver...flash button

maseby · 12-29-2006, 11:23 AM

i have been having problems with targeting my dreamweaver flash made button, to make it open a link
in my so called main frame, yes am using frames.

every time one clicks on the button a new windows pops up instead of in the main frame.

can someone submit a short example with lets say two frames etc
with one flashbutton on the left that links something to the right frame

i have been trying without success

tnx in advance

The "target=" for that button might be set to "_blank". Try setting is to "_parent".

_parent target does not work...ihave read somewere that there is some code missing
and that u should manually write in...

but i cant seem to understand were that missing piece of code should go?

Hi,
I think you should give the frame a name, and then use that name as the target of the button.
The frames:

Code:

<FRAMESET cols="50%, 50%">
   <FRAME src="left.html" name="crazyMenu">
   <FRAME src="right.html" name="mainCrazyPlace">
</FRAMESET>

then you should use "mainCrazyPlace" as the target of your button.

If my memory doesnt fail, this is the way frames works. Of course, in the web world, it might not work hehehehe

Cheers!

hence the problem...i have targeted already the main frame that i want to load with a specific page, but everytime i hit the button a new window loads instead of opening in the mainframe

here is the code for the frame:

Code:

<frameset cols="*,*" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="menu.htm" id="left" name="left" />
  <frame src="main.htm" id="right"  name="right"/>
</frameset>

here is the code for the left side, flash button that is which is in menu:

Code:

</script><noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="100" height="22">
  <param name="BGCOLOR" value="" />
  <param name="movie" value="button1.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="button1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="22" ></embed>
