    Linking flash to html files on same server?

    I'm working on a flashpage for an upcoming band. They have some merchandise they want to sell via paypal. So I go to paypals site, get all the info I need to create buttons in html that drive their order forms. So I make seperate html files for each item.

    Basically I'm having an issue directing a flash button to load the html pages......I can get them to load html pages outside of my own web server, but nothing that is uploaded to my server directly. Does anyone know why this is the case and what I'm missing?

    I'm using flash MX, and basically using the geturl actionscript command to link to the pages. Again it works when I link to html pages outside of my own web server, but nothing I have loaded up internally.

    Thanks for any help.

    I'm having the same problem. I've made scrolling buttons that are basically a movieclip that holds another movieclip. I'm needing the buttons to link to HTML pages from a dreamweaver template that holds the flash piece.

    on (release) {
    getURL("mypage.html");
    }

    the above coding works great. My problem ended up being a layer in the buttons that was corrupted, once replaced everything worked great.

    Thanks for the help guys, I realized after leck mentioned what he did that I was typing my path links as if I was looking externally, and not internally. Basically had to many directories in the path names. Thanks again for your help guys.
