Hi Rich,

Below i hopefully have explained how to do this,

create a button ( >insert >new symbol >button ) then create your up, over, down and hit frames. go back to the main movie and place this button where u want it in the movie. noe right click on the button and go to actions. a new menu will now open up. you should have a list of actions somewhere in this list depending on which version of flash you have. double click on the sction "get url". you should then be able to see a place to type in the url you want to goto. type the url in and your finished. the action script should look like the one below

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.flashkit.com");
}


hope this helped
