Re: FLASH: url help please

[Cheri Harder]

Chessie, hi.


For button actions of any kind (GetURL and anything else...) you do NOT put

the actions on the keyframes of the button.  Back up one.  Double-click on

the instance of the button and on the "Instance Properties" box that pops up

there will be an "Actions" tab.  Click on that.  There is where you put your

button actions.  You must do so for each instance of your button, that way

you can use the same "button symbol" to do many tasks.


Also note (I think someone said this) it is window _blank that you want when

you want to open a new window with your new page, otherwise _self will open

in the same window your movie is in (& replace it with your new html

content) and, unless you are dealing with variables to and from other movies

or files or a database, you leave the "variables" at the default "Don't

send"


HTH.  If it is not understandable to you, just ask & I will send you a small

sample offline!
