Targeting XML to IFRAME
Hi,

This is my first post here. I am a XML noob. I really don't know much about it so forgive this question. I created an XML file that is read by Flash MX, which control's my navigation. The problem is I am not sure how to target a link to a specified IFrame. here is what my XML code looks like:
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MENU>        
    <ITEM NAME="Home" URL="index01.asp" />
    <ITEM NAME="Publications">
        <SUBITEM NAME="Mail" URL="mail.asp"/>
        <SUBITEM NAME="Forms" URL="sublink22.html" />
        <SUBITEM NAME="Correspondence" URL="sublink23.html" />
        <SUBITEM NAME="Publications" URL="sublink23.html" />
    </ITEM>
    <ITEM NAME="Links">
        <SUBITEM NAME="Army Library Links" URL="sublink21.html" />
        <SUBITEM NAME="Other Library Links" URL="sublink22.html" />
    </ITEM>
    <ITEM NAME="FAQ's">
        <SUBITEM NAME="View FAQ's" URL="sublink21.html" />
        <SUBITEM NAME="Post A New FAQ" URL="sublink22.html" />
    </ITEM>
    <ITEM NAME="Site Map" URL="link1.htm" />
    <ITEM NAME="Contact">
        <SUBITEM NAME="Help With Site" URL="sublink31.html" />
        <SUBITEM NAME="Questions" URL="sublink32.html" />
        <SUBITEM NAME="Suggestions" URL="sublink32.html" />
    </ITEM>
</MENU>


I really dont know why this doesn't work:
PHP Code:
<SUBITEM NAME="Mail" URL="mail.asp" target="myFrame"/> 


I am really in a bind here, and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

You'll probably get a better response to this questing if you ask in the Flash forum. The only thing I can suggest for you to look at is how does flash know to display "NAME" as a link, and put "URL" as the href. If you can figure that out, you should be able to get it to include a target attribute as well.

You can target "_top" if you want links to go to the current window. Or, if you're in a frame set, you can target "_self" to get the current frame.

yes i understand. just for your own info this is the way my site is set up. I have an xml flash driven navigation. so when we need to update our navigation we don't have to open flash, since i am the only flash guru here Flash generates the xml file and creates a drop down navigation. i have an IFrame with all my content. I have everything working fine, except for some of the buttons, they shoudl not open in the IFrame, rather a new window. the problem is that the flash function linsk all URL's to my IFrame. SO i guesswhat I need to do is soemhow detect what buttons are being called by flash, and just target them appropriatly. anyway thanks again
