This may not be possible. I'm setting up a scheme for a site with iframes, and an issue is how to properly place "Link to this page" links for each item of content.
If you have:
1-parent window, always visibie
2-main content iframe, changes based on nav. in parent window
3-content iframe within the "main content iframe"Say, if you are viewing an article within the content iframe, is there any way to create a link that can be emailed and direct the viewer to that same location?
Or would it ultimatly be a link to the index.html page of the site due to use of iframes?
Thanks.

you would probably need some serverside scripting (php or asp) to do something like /gotopage.php?mainframe=this.htm... - the php page would pull the url string into the relevant iframes.

there's a dreamweaver behavior plugin that will take an individual page and kick it back into the appropriate frames when visited alone.
so you can give someone the url for just that one content page, and it will show up inside all frames for them.
you'd have to apply it to your iframe's frameset also though.

any idea what the behaviour is called?

My question is: what if in the top frame there is a tiny flash sound player? Can I replace the iframe content and change the url without flash sound player skipping?

yeah you can do that (without sound player skipping). when working with frames/iframes - its a convenience and then its also a drawback to use them - make sure theres good reason to use these elements in a design/project. if not simple re-think the design.

I don't need it to be iframe based. What I need is a site with a flash element where I can change the content without skipping the flash part. The url has to change too for bookmarking. How do I do that?
