Hey, can you post the link to your site so I can check it out. Also, if you posted the source files (.fla), it would make it easier for people to help you.

Well i yanked the original web page, and the content took too long to get to the button anyway, so i made a new fla.

Hey, I don't know about you, but this code worked for me in adobe flash player 9. I would suggest using different code to this:

button1.onRollOver = over;
button1.onRollOut = out;
button1.onRelease = function(){
button1.onRelease = getURL("http://www.google.com",window="_blank");
}
function over() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function out() {
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
}

Try using this:

button1.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
button1.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
};
button1.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.google.com",window="_blank");
}

Hope that I helped.

Cheers
