Question about Script

[kayber76]

I know in the older version of flash if you were making a button in which it was to link to something. You could make a square box and make the alpha to 0 then scrip it with GetURL (and something else lol forget the other script) to make it link.

I'm having a hard time doing that with MX could someone tell me how they link their buttons?

I need the whole button to link to a URL?

If you're already using a button symbol on stage, then simply right-click it and select actions. In the Actions -Button window add this script...

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

Use "_self" instead of "_blank", if you want the link to open in the same window rather than in a new one.

If you're not dealing with a button symbol to start with, you must first convert your shape, graphic or whatever to a button symbol... Under Insert->Convert to symbol, and to give it a button's behavior.
