LINKING SWF (FLASH) FILEs to URL OR TO HTML FILES

[LanceH]

Good Day,

I have not been successfil in linking of a swf movie to a html file or to a URL. I have followed the Flash 8 instructions and set-up an invisible button and all seems ok up to the point where I click on the swf file within the web site and nothing happens. The movie works and The 'hand' appears showing that there is a link but that's all .... the link is dead!!

I've checked and rechecked the URL and all seems correct. Would anybody have any idea as to what I might be doing incorrectly?

The ActionScript is as follows:

inv_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.airmanaircrew.com/htm/reunion_2012/reunion_2012.html","_self");
};

The swf movie in question is the one on the homepage of http://www.airmanaircrew.com/

Any assistance from anyone would be greatly appreciated. More than happy to email the .fla file if it helps.

you can attach the .fla to your post. If it's too heavy remove the graphics.

i retyped the code from your 1st post... Which was the right code, btw (not what was in your file)

I also gave the inv_btn instance name to your button. should work now.

Thanks for that. Very much appreciated, indeed. I only wish I had a better understanding of Flash and the ability to be able to use it more effectively. Lance.
