    A little bit more information..

    In the button action you need to input the url to your php or asp file that will process your form. ie http://www.mysite.com/scripts/formmail.php or something similar. If your form is in the same folder as your formmail.php then you can just input the file name and not the full url. If you are only testing your form then output both swf and html and then just upload to a test folder on your server. This saves interfering with any other files/software.

    In the "button url" you should type the HTML file name
    of the site you want to go to... You should upload both
    the HTML and SWF files to the same directory for this
    to work...

    To link to another site type the full location including the "http://" ...

    You are talking about relative and absolute URL's

    Absolute is like http://www.mysite.com/file/file2/something.html

    Relative is like /something.html

    As xpattech said if its in the same folder then use relative, otherwise use absolute.

    If unsure use absolute.
    Any programming language is at its best before it is implemented and used.
