using Flash movie as navigation bar

I created a frameset, (top , middle and bottom frame)
I put a flash button (created in Flash) on the top frame, and I want to
let it be the "Home" button (when I click it, it will go to the my web
site's home page, in the same window)

but I've tried all the parameters, when I clicked the button, it either
open the home page in the top frame or open a new window

Could someone please tell me what the action script should be?

on (release) {
getURL("http://irenew.cjb.net");

}

Thanks so much for your help!!

Using Flash for navigation is a VERY bad idea. Are you sure you want to do
this?

Your links must be made in the Flash, not in HTML.

When you set up the getURL actions in Flash, put the name of the frame
in which you want the link to appear in the "Window" field.

Thanks, Murray
I did not use flash as navigation bar, just one small button, like when we
click the logo of a company, it takes us back to its home page

And I've learnt the necessary action script from other group, there's no
problem anymore

Thanks again for answering my question!

more beginner mode)
