Action Help with MX / External Links

Hi “Flashers”,

I’m beginning to think I picked the wrong movie to learn and practice Flash MX. However, I’m trying to stick with it :h: .

I have a button symbol that I named mailing list (this is labeled in the up & over, there is nothing in the down and hit states). When you click on it in the over state, it takes you to a text box. I want it to also at the same time open an external html page. However when I try to edit it, it tells me current selection cannot have actions applied to it. I have searched for tutorials that may help me with this specific task but can’t find anything.

I am also searching for a tutorial that can tell me how to add a thumbnail photo to a text box that will open an external html page when the photo is clicked.

I am trying to do as much as I can while I have the MX trial before I actually decide on buying it. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Foxy
