Hi,
Using Dreamweaver 8, when I set up a page with frames, (Fixed top, nested
left) and I insert one of the dreamweaver flash buttons into the nav bar, it
doesn't load the linked file into the mainFrame, instead it opens a new window.
The same occurs using Flash Text, even though I have correctly set the target
to be the mainFrame.

If I use normal text in the nav bar it works perfectly fine.

Can someone please ?

Thanks

Frames and flash buttons? The best I can give you is a plea to not use
either. Frames are an antique that create more problems than they solve.
Flash buttons are a mistake from the get-go. Must you use them?

Try it with the page uploaded to a server.

note this paragraph:

Security note: In Flash Player 9 and later, when code in a SWF file that is
running in the local-with-filesystem sandbox calls the getURL() function and
specifies a custom window name for the window parameter, the window name is
transfered into a random name. The name is in the form "_flashXXXXXXXX",
where each X represents a random hexadecimal digit. Within the same session
(until you close the containing browser window), if you call the function
again and specify the same name for the window parameter, the same random
string is used.

Short translation:
the target attribute will not work during a local preview F12 in
dreamweaver. It should work on upload. But might not, because the flash text
and buttons are using a much older version of flash actionscript....


Also note- the next version of dreamweaver will not have "Flash Text" or
"Flash Buttons" included with it.
