yes, make an invisible button.


Easy way:


  - add top layer to movie;

  - draw a rectangular fill (no outline) and select it;

  - use align (ctrl-k) to center it both ways and match the dimesions to 

the page;

  - hit F8, make it a button symbol;

  - edit the button so the rectangle appears only in the Hit frame, nowhere 

else;

  - on stage, double-click the invisible button (which will have a light 

cyan tint but won't show in the exported movie);

  - assign the button a Get URL action.
