Hi Robert,

It's still not focusing. Do I need to change the Flash command in the Get
URL?

TIA

Hi,

Try the following:

function updateParent(newURL) {
opener.document.location = newURL;
timoutID=setTimeout("focusMain()",100)
}
function focusMain(){
opener.document.focus();
clearTimeout(timeoutID)
}

I have found that you need to give the scripts a little time between
executes. Especially if you are trying to replace the current window
content.

Robert
