Is there a way to create a new frame from within an application? For example, If you click a button that says new page, it creates a new frame that you can then jump to and do stuff in (via global events). If anyone needs me to be more clear, I will try.
If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program.
The rest of them will write Perl programs.

Well, you could always just add a frame before runtime...
What exactly are you trying to do? I have a feeling the answer is going to involve level editor type saving and loading stuff.

I want to make it so you can create a new level (in a level editor) while in game and save it, but I don't want a limiton the number of levels you can make.

With a level editor, since things are stored externally, you only need one frame that will load the pieces of your level.
I would post a few links to level editors, but they seem to all be hosted on filefront, which went down! 
Here's one:

How much of the editor have you made?

Can't open that editor... I don't have associative array object and don't feel like buying it... I have the editor finished, all I have to do is saving and loading. I will try the loading from an external application.

you only need one other frame. That frame should have all of your level editor pieces in it. When the frame starts, you load your save array and then start a loop. On each loop have a sensor move through each box of the grid and test to see an item is there. If it is create an item and place it there. If not, continue on until the whole grid is checked.

Is there really not an article somewhere on how to make a good level editor?
If not, I guess I should write one - but it won't be for a week or two.
