My problem is that i am having a flash menu in a HTML site.
How to i tell the flash buttons to open a new window in the main frame area.

Well... Maybe it is easy, maybe it is not... But don't you think 'A easy problem to solve i think' is not that descriptive??? Please use some descriptive title next time... :)

You sound like you need to use getURL() function with the frame name as a second argument... An example would be

getURL(incomingAd, "frameNameHere");

Please loop up the Flash manual or search the forum with that for more details... :)

for flash controlling HTML in the other frame I'd use Cyan solution
but if u r gonna make both swf in different frames, the WOW LocalConnection is up and running with flash MX

I understand now, had always wondered how two swf's interact with each other....
