[thelist] Handling frames with Flash buttons

[Andrew Mottershead]

Hello there

I'm not a flash bod - but does your bottom fame have an id?
"bottomFrame" hopefully :) otherwise flash will not be able to reference
it and the page will open in a new window. (Well that's what happens in
JavaScript....)

HTH

> Hello Experts,

> Dreamweaver has a built-in system of creating Flash buttons

> and chose the name of bottom frame in Target field (in Flash
> Button dialogue box). This button loaded the page neither in
