Subject: Flash2: forcing a loading order with onLoad="changeWindowContents('new.html')"

Hi,

My thanks to Jason, and John, for their help - it is very much appreicated.
I've tried your Javascript, and it works for IE4 and Communicator. With
Netscape 2.02 and 3, however, I get a Javascript error, "body is not defined"
("body" being the name of my right frame). Is this because the Javascript
is of
a later version? Is there any way to create a solution that works for Netscape
2.02+ and IE3.02+ ?

cheers, Andrew

The Javascript I used:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!--

function changeWindowContents(newURL){

body.location.href = newURL;

}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<FRAMESET BORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0 FRAMEBORDER="no" BORDER="0" COLS="137,*"
onLoad="changeWindowContents('final-right.html')">
<FRAME NAME="left" SRC="left.html" SCROLLING="no" MARGINWIDTH="2"
MARGINHEIGHT="2" FRAMEBORDER="no" BORDER="0" NORESIZE>
<FRAME NAME="body" SRC="dummy-right.html" SCROLLING="auto" MARGINWIDTH="2"
MARGINHEIGHT="2">
</FRAMESET>

<BODY>

nb: I put the function definition inside the HEAD. when I put the function
definition inside the frameset I get, "changeWindowContents is not defined"

place this inside the <FRAMESET> tag of your main frameset.
rightFrame is the name of the frame that you want to change the location of.
<FRAMESET other_stuff_goes_here onLoad="changeWindowContents('new.html')">
note that you don't need parent.rightFrame.location.href, instead
just rightFrame.location.href, since the function is located in the top
level frameset document. Your frameset will load, with its initial
document, and then the new one will load based on the function above
which gets called when the frameset is loaded. new.html is the name of
the file you want to load in the frame.
Hope that helps,
Jason
