Loading HTML in second frame from flash button 1

[krappleby025]

Hi All,

im sorry to bother you, and this could be something else.. but i have a problem, i cannot seem to work it out at all. i have been on at this for over 3 weeks, and still no solution.

I am completing a website for a client.

http://www.candfa.com

as you will see the page consists of two frames, _top and _main.

in the top frame is a flash banner, and in the bottom frame php coding.

Now.. the site works fine. for me, and for many other visitors who have visited the site, and we have no problems, however.

When my client, visits the site. and clicks on one of the flash buttons, the page that should open in the bottom window, actually opens in the whole page. So the frames disapear..

Now the funny thing is that

when he clicks on the link to the site through MSN, it works fine.. but if he types in the url it doesnt, and it generates the above error..

Of course, if the site is not working, then i dont get paid. and this really has me stumped. I have tried moving servers. recoding the flash, and allsorts but still he gets the error.. The funny thing is. It is not only him..

His friend gets exactly the same problem.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated..

Cheers

This is why developing with frames is a bad thing.

What browswer is he having the problem with? IE, Mozilla, Firefox? It seems to work ok for me.

Are you trying to trouble shoot it with the same browser your client is using? Does your client have the latest Flash player installed?

in answer to all your questions. yes and internet explorer 6.08 i have even installed the update. to 6.08 to see if i get the problem but i get nothing..

cheers

What about Flash player version?

 

[krappleby025]

yes also the flash player..

The frame names appear to be "header" and "main". So your code should be:

getURL("file.html","main");

as opposed to "_main".

If that doesn't fix it you may have to post your files and/or your code.

Hope that helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

Well, pixl8r that will also solve a problem I'm going to be having with a site I have to take over.

Thanks for a point in the right direction - star to you.
