You need to use the getURL command and specify your targeting in the dialogue box in the Actions window (Ctrl A - flash 5, F9 Flash MX)...

Couple ways, in MX. Make the Enter in Static text. Then in the properties panel, fill in the url in the box at the bottom, and choose _self from the target dropdown. That's if it's on another page.

Or, make the Enter in Static text and then convert the text box to a movie clip with an instance name, say enterHere. In the movie clip, you add another layer with a rectangle of any color fill and no stroke, then alpha it to 0. It goes in a layer under the text. Then in a frame:

enterHere.onRelease = funtion(){
_root.gotoAndPlay("labelName");
}

Or, make a new button with the word enter in the first frame and a rectangle in the hit frame, then:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("labelName");
}
