Re: [flasher] Get URL with Flash in Parent Window

[Gregg Caines]

There's no need for JavaScript if the parent window has a name.

If it was opened using a target name

(<a href='asdf.html' target='parent'>asdf</a>) or if it was opened

as a frame with a name, you can specify that target in the

getURL().


However, if you're just trying to do a general change of URL for

any document with any parent, then JavaScript is the way to go...
