i tried the tutorial on this website and it worked fine. but when i came to apply that on my website…i just couldn’t.

basically my homepage’s got a menu (on main timeLine) with buttons on it. Now, if u want to alter the buttons ,u have to double click on the menu then takes u to buttons indiviually.  
So What i’ve done is place the button code on the button and the action code just above the button layer…that didn’t work(well it created a window with nothing on it).

Then i moved the action layer outside with on the main TimeLine, but that also didn’t help.

So any Suggestions ,ll be greatful. oh for those who don’t know what i’m talking about visit this link.

if it loaded a blank window, then maybe you need to specify a URL to load… just a thought…

if it produced a window without any errors, then the main function  
is working. Majeye thinks what I do, and that’s you’re calling the  
wrong page name.

mind posting your .fla?
