Nothing goes in the *frame properties*--What about the frame previous to

the keyframe?

hmmm. I did that and it worked. :D


Tried it on my project, and I was getting links, but then several Netscape

'javascript' empty windows opened. OK, so I gave up on that project, and

started from scratch again. No problem--it's not the first time I started

from scratch on this. 


Now the links are appearing, but I'm still getting the extra (empty)

Netscape windows opening with javascript mentioned on the bottom bar name. 


I'll keep trying.
