The Go to URL action opens a new page in the current window or in the specified frame. This action is particularly useful for changing the contents of two or more frames with one click. It can also be called in a timeline to jump to a new page after a specified time interval.
To use the Go To URL action:
| 1 | Select an object and open the Behaviors panel. |
| 2 | Click the Plus (+) button and choose Go to URL from the Actionspop-up menu. |
| 3 | Choose a destination for the URL from the Open In list. |
| The Open In list automatically lists the names of all frames in the current frameset as well as the main window. If there are no frames, the main window is the only option. | |
| Note: This action may produce unexpected results if any frame is named top, blank, self, or parent. Browsers sometimes mistake these names for reserved target names. | |
| 4 | Click Browse to select a document to open, or enter the path and file name of the document in the URL field. |
| 5 | Repeat steps 3 and 4 to open additional documents in other frames. |
| 6 | Click OK. |
| 7 | Check that the default event is the one you want. |
 |
If it isn't, choose another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Show Events For pop-up menu.
