How do u link flash buttons 2..

How do u link flash buttons to a website??

i tryed for an example.

getURL("www.google.co.nz", "_self");

but once my flash menu navigation finished it's sweet lil intro.. i got sent straight to google... and i didnt even click the text i added the actionscript.... too

how would i actualy link a flash button to my html page?

so when the user moves his/her mouse over the text they are able to click the menu text ( just like a GIF, JPG button ) and be linked to the next page?....

Oh and i am currently using Macromedia Flash professional 8.

It just confuses me on why someone would put a flash file on a template which u cant edit.... :|!!!

on (release) {
getURL("www.google.co.nz", "_blank");
} // << --- NOTE : must use a closing tag '}'
// or error message will show -->> Statement block must be terminated by '}'

Nope.... nothing ... i click my menu text "cheaters"

and the error comes up when i pub.

Mouse events are permitted only for button instances

this error shows that your code is NOT applied to the button,
is the code applied to a frame action ???

try this -
1 - make a button on the main timeline
2 - select it with your cursor
3 - look at the Actionscript Panel
4 - make sure it says ACTION - BUTTON
5 - add your code, example below -

Code:

---

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.co.nz", "_blank");
}

---

6 - Publish the file and test (works OK here in MX6 )

ps .. my 8 year old son with no posts can manage this :)
