RE: FLASH: Is it possible to use a variable to target on a get URL?

I don't think I quite explained what I'm trying to do.....I want your

"right"....to be a variable obtained from my text file so the client can

dynamically update the tickers attributes...including which HTML frame is

targetted by the link?


Cheers


MM

++ 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
