on release-Get URL?

[boofalotamus]

I want to be able to click anywhere on my movie to get another URL in a new window. For instance in a flash footer. Any Help?

One way to do it would be to make an "invisible button" that has only a hitstate defined that is a rectangle the size of your movie. Put this on the background layer with the following AS:

on (release) {
    getURL ("www.yoursite.com", "_blank");
}

this will open the URL in a new window by clicking anywhere in your footer.

Hope this helps.

Using this exact syntax:



on (release) {
getURL ("www.yoursite.com", "_blank");
}


I get the follwing error in Flash CS3:



1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
