onload Iframe/child to reset parent x, y

[donbudz]

Hi, hoping someone can help me with an onload script.
I have a page with an IFRAME in it. When a page loads into my IFRAME i want the main/parent page to scroll down to where the IFRAME is positioned.
So i need an "onload" script to put into my page thats loading into the IFRAME that will call the parent to moveTo or scrollTo new position. I dont want the parent to scroll down until the child page loads. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

put something like <a name="frame"></a> just before the iframe
and when linking to your page do it like link.html#frame

or see if this (http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html) is of any help

Little more info on what I am doing.
I have a Flash Menu at the top of "Parent window" when a user clicks a button in the Flash Menu a page will load into the IFRAME. The IFRAME is located at bottom of "Parent window". It is located off screen the user will not see it load.
I need the "Parent window" to scroll down to the IFRAME when user clicks the button in the flash menu at the top of "Parent window". I need to have either a button action in Flash or a script in IFRAME page to scroll "Parent window" to IFRAME position. I do not want the "Parent window" to refresh as this will reload my flash movie. Thanks for any help. PS i am kinda a noobie!

The document in the iframe must have an onload that scrolls the top document.

The document in the iframe must have an onload that scrolls the top document.
EXACTLY!! thank you Fang!
Anyone, help me with that?

window.onload=function() {parent.iframeName.scrollInToView();};

Thanks for the response Fang, however, its not working for me. I put the line u posted into my IFRAME page and it done nothing. I may not be putting the line into my code correctly. Is there a certain place I put this line or a tag i need to add to it? Thanks for your help with this.

Isn't the forum loaded into communicator_main?

[donbudz]

um ya... 'bout that..
Index is the parent page,
first generation IFRAME is "communicator"
second generation IFRAME is "communicator_main"
"generalforum_loader.html" loads into "communicator_main"
then the forum loads... "/general/index.php"

[donbudz]

...so i actually have an IFRAME within an IFRAME.
parent.communicator.communicator_main
im using the pre-loader page for the onload event to reset parent position.
the page i want to use this onLoad event is located
"parent.communicator.communicator_main"

[donbudz]

still i cant just throw that code in anywhere can i? isnt that jave script? shuldnt there be <script="java language"> </script> on there?

Flash movie to link to HTML anchor:
FLASH BUTTON ACTION (link to anchor)
"flash.swf" movie
on (release) {
getURL("my.html#bottom");
}

HTML CODE (anchor) placed rite above IFRAME or any location you want in the HTML
"my.html" page
<a name="bottom"></a>

Also this works without refreshing the page!
Thanks Auto_Web and Fang for your help.

ok.. my bad it refreshes the parent page. For whatever reason it only does it once.. then no more refreshing.. weird. I'm lookin for away to goto anchor without refresh.

[donbudz]

Think I have got it now!!
To keep Main/Parent page from reloading when linking to the
anchor, I simply put the anchor in the IFRAME page.
Had to change the Flash Button Action a bit.
Flash Button Action (targeting anchor within IFRAME page)
on (release) {
getURL("my.html#bottom", "IFRAME_name");
}
Thanks, later dudes
