Hi Mike,


The correct syntax would be Get URL (sGoToURL, window="right").  (In my

case sGoToURL is a textfield variable, but I think you've got that part

worked out OK already).


You can see an ugly but working version at

http://i-technica.com/flash/passvarframes.html which uses the code above

(I pasted it to be sure) in the frame 3 action.  To make it work, type a

1, 2 or 3 into the "Which record?" box, then click Go.  When you see the

url (pulled from a database) pop up into the sGoToURL box, click Go

again.  This will cause the URL that got pulled from the database to

open in a frame (named "right") on the right.  


Regards,

Helen
