No, I'm making every frame the graphic is in on the timeline into a button.

Actually, the first graphic that comes along does link, when it's

stationary, but when it moves, it doesn't link. The other graphics are made

the same way, as buttons for every frame on the timeline that they appear.

I clicked and the property box appeared, but the Get URL I had previously

entered wasn't showing there, so I added the Get URL info, ran test

movie/scene, then tried the html in a browser, and I still only have a link

to the first graphic. :-/  I added the Get URL info to Property Box of each

Key Frame.


Below the Get URL, (windows) I'm using _self (I read somewhere that was for

opening a new window), and (variables) send using GET. Does this sound

correct?
