Re: FLASH: url help please

NO!!!!!!!!!  You do NOT put any of this in ANY frame actions.  You put it on

the action tab of the instance properties window of the button.  I would

send you a sample, but if you do not know how to get to the instance

properties window and its tab for actions you wouldn't be able to see the

example, either.  Hmmmm.  Am trying to figure a way to tell you how...


How about this.  Start a new project.  Draw a filled rectangle.

Double-click the rectangle to select.  Hit F8 and change the properties

radio-box to "button" and say "OK"  Now, double-click on the rectangle again

and this will bring up an "instance properties" window with 3 tabs across

the top:  definition, color effect, and "Actions".

Go to the "actions" tab.  Here, click on the plus sign and click on the

GetURL action.  Type the filename.html in the URL box and hit OK.  That's

it.  Now, publish the movie and push the button.  Should work.
