Flash button in a frameset

hi, i'm novice dreamweaver/webdeveloping.
i have simple site 3 frame frameset. have flash buttons in leftframe openining links in mainframe. when test in browser (safari) button opens link in new window, not mainframe. if use hyperlinks work, open link in mainframe. ideas why is.
another quick question, has had problems running under rosetta or @ all. when i'm in "insert flash button" screen when clicking on target drop down menu, program gets stuck , won't let me leave "insert flash button" screen. has happened twice only.

best practice methods suggest a) use frames when have
need use them, , b) not use flash navigation unless
cannot accomplish purpose other methods, , unless
provide plain-html redundant navigation.

frames extract penalty on developer, , on site visitor,
that neither of may interested in paying. being case,
incumbent on developer make considered decision use them,
not because seemed easier. find out many problems
that come deciding use frames, go here -

using flash navigation without redundant navigation methods eliminates
the use of pages following classes of visitors -

1. not have flash plugin installed (and there some)
2. use screen assistive device surfing
3. search engine spiders - meaning site not ranked

in addition, create maintenance problem if linked
file ever gets renamed or moved. again "it seemed simpler" not
reason use flash navigation.

all of these considerations dramatically affect questions below.
will not address them until hear further you.
