Problem with flash template

[magicpatrick]

Hi,

I am using a template for a website that has a top menu in Flash and the rest is in HTML. My problem is that I can't link the buttons from the Flash to the HTML pages.
I go into the Flash movie, select the button, go into action and then I'm stuck.
I've tried everything but it doesn't seem to work. I don't really know what action to use (goto, get url...)
It's really annoying, I'm only learning Flash but I really can't sort this out.

Help will be truly appreciated here.

Okay, create a Rectangle, Press F8 and Select "Button." Open up the Actions for that button and type the following code in:

on (release) {
  getURL (entertheURLhere);
}

That should do the job.

yes, it should. also, make sure that you use the full url, and also u might wanna check to see how it opens it, like _parent or whatever.

brilliant, I was close but it helped enormously.

Thanx

magicpatrick, I would recommend you go through some more tutorials prior to working with actionscripting.
