    Hello, All.

    I have built a simple Flash4 movie in which a (supposed) navigation (get url) button appears at the end. It's not happening!

    In other words, I have my index.html devoted to the movie and want the viewer to be able to click the button and move on into the site. Has anyone seen a tutorial on what seems to me to be a very basic technique?

    thanks,
    gee

    After placing your button in your movie, right-click and select Properties.

    Click the action tab and select the Get Url function. Type in the URL in the appropriate box as http://www.whatever.com

    If you want it to open a new window with the link then select Window as _blank or _self to replace the movie entirely.

    To test this function you must first publish the movie and then run the .html file or .swf. Test Movie does not work with the GET URL function of a button (at least not in my case).

    Hope this helps.

    Just put an aciton in the last frame the code should look like this.

    Get URL ("http://www.yoursite.com/chicken.htm", window="_self")

    In the beginning the web was without shape and color, and the hype covered the darkness of the net. Then there was a Flash and life came to the web and vision became reality.
