FAQ Opening a page in a browser frame

How can I open a page in another browser fram in Shockwave?

You can make a shockwave interface that opens html documents in another frame, simply by giving it the frame's name in the call like this...

gotoNetPage "URL", {"targetName"}

Example : goToNetPage "http://www.mediamacros.com", "main"

If you try a few times and it does not work, double check that you do not have a base URL defined in your HTML and realize that even clearing the cache and closing the browser still does not always remove the previous version of the Shockwave program. During testing I have found it safer to rename the shockwave file each time I change it while testing to ensure the correct version is playing in the browser.
