Hidden frame routine?

Hiya Colin,

3) Using a hidden frame, we can call normal HTML URLs from Flash and

let "onload" do the work of calling the function that launches the

window.


Seemed to me that a hidden frame was the lesser of three evils.

Hiya Flashers,



I was interesting in using the "hidden frame" pop up routine and was

trying to figure out how to do it.


I tried visiting Colin's URL: http://colinmoock.iceinc.com/web/flash/

but it seems you have moved.


Does anyone have a new URL showing how to use this technique?


For what its worth:


www.main.com root holds a .swf called menu.swf. In menu.swf is a button

that needs to call up a 

pop up window containing a .swf containing samples.swf. (using a "hidden

frame" routine instead of using JScript or FS commands from flash to

bypass

IE3 javascript errors.)


samples.swf contains 3 buttons that are labeled example1, example2, and

example3. These

buttons need to load three individual movies in the same window(I

believe this is done 

with Flash3's new "load movie" command.


these are fantasy urls and htm just to show you what im trying to

achieve.


If anyone has a couple of minutes could you give me a quik rundown or

direct me to "hidden frame" Flash examples?


Of course any help is most appreciated from a fellow Flasher.<g>
