    [F8] movie clip urls

    I have a scrolling image bar in a movie clip liked to several external pages, but when i publish it non of my links work. The only way i can get them to work is to not have them in a movie clip, is there something im doing wrong or does it just not work puting buttons in movie clips like that.

    can you post the code that loads the external pages? you can definitely load external pages from buttons within movieclips.

    have you tried testing it after putting it online? getURL has some security restrictions when tested locally. although i have no idea why it's working for you if it's not in a movieclip.. that's really odd.

    yea, when i test it, everything works perfectly but when i publish it nothing. I thinks the issue is when i went into the html of the published page, where it says to use the urls in the .swf its blank but when i publish with out the buttons in the movie clip they are all there. So if theres a magic way of making the urls appear there let me know
