make entire movie clickable into a link

[paul1537]

I have created a web banner in flash and it works fine except I want it clickable and to link to a web page. I only want it to load the webpage in a new window once it is clicked. I have tried converting it to a button and using this action:

on (press) {
getURL("http://www.mywebsite.com/",_blank);
}

Every time I do that it distorts the graphics and has all kinds of problems. Anyone got any hints?

Here is my fla and swf without this change if anyone wants a go at it.
banner.fla
banner.swf

Thanks for your help.

Just create an invisible button (one with only a hit state) the size of your stage, place it on the top layer and put the actionscript on it.

Hope that helps!

I think this is what you're looking for?

Looked like you had everything right, you just had to resize your button hit area and put the getURL in an on(release) function on the button instead in a frame script.

Hope that helps!
