I new to flash and I am trying to create a menu similar to the one in this tutorial:  
[[COLOR=#810081]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm[/COLOR]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm)

I was able to do so with no problems, but I would like the pages, or rectangles (content 1 movie clip, content 2 movie clip, etc) to also be hyperlinks to different pages. In other words, the user should be able to click on the big rectangles to get to other pages. I tried making them button symbols instead of movie clip symbols, but that broke the sliding menu- the rectangles no longer moved when buttons were clicked. I tried adding a getURL action to onRelease for the movie clips, but I get an error and from what I read, this cannot be done with Actionscript 2.

Any help is much appreciated!
