Help with calling Flash Movie using Html button

[Tony]

I have a series of Flash Movies that I would like to call up in the same cell of my page using buttons I made with Dreamweaver.

I would like to get each movie to show up on the same position on my page everytime a user presses on of my buttons, one movie for each button at the same position or in the same cell.

I want to avoid "popups" or having to have all the moviesload at once since this will take too much time, could any on epoint me in the right direction please, or have an suggestions??

Thank you.

Hi Tony, welcome to the boards !

Use an iframe and load different HTML pages to it

Now i'm able to inster an iFrame but the movie just loads immediately:'( , would you know how I could load the movie only when I press a button outside the table??

Load by default a blank page. Use a link with a target to the iframe name. I.e

<iframe src="default.html" name="flashcontent" width="150" height="100"></iframe>

In the button

<a href="flash1.htm" target="flashcontent">.....</a>

Hi,

Thanks for the great info. I had the exact same problem and iframes has fixed it. I have come across another problem though.

I have a movie loading into the iframe and there is a button in that movie that loads an external movie into level 0. When the movie wasn't in an iframe this worked fine but now it's in an iframe its not loading the external movie.

Any Ideas

Cheers

Steve
