HELP! - framesets suddenly stopped working

Question

Hello,
I am a dreamweaver novice. I built a site using framesets,
and had them working so that when I clicked a button in a
leftframeset, a linked swf file would open in the mainframe. It had
been working fine for months, but suddenly stopped working. Now
everytime I press the button it tries to open a new window which is
a pain and takes more time. I checked the link settings in the
button in the left frame that opens the swf, and its still corect
(still says it is targeting the main frameset) ... any ideas?
thank you

Answer 1

Bob,
I thought of this after I responded to your email....
when you assigned the link to that button, did you set the
target via the
property inspector?
If so, did you set it to go to the mainframe ? or is it set
to go to
target_blank
(which would spawn a new window).
PS: That code doesn't really help.... People would need to
see all the
code that makes up that particular page.. not just the script
for the flash.
