Hi guys, this is a bit of a noob question I know, but so far I can’t figure this one out, and I know it will be a simple answer. I have a movieclip with 5 frames and 5 buttons. each frame has a stop command in it. I simply want the buttons on rollover to go to a specific frame and stop ( I have this working) but when pressed and released I want the button to load a new html page into the browser. so far I am using :  
on (rollover) {  
gotoAndStop(2);  
}

on each button directly to control the frames, but I cant get the :  
onrelease {  
geturl([http://somesite.org](http://somesite.org))  
}

to work.  
Any help greatly appreciated.  
I have been programming php for the past few years and am just coming back to flash now and I am finding it hard to get version specific information (I am using cs3).  
Thanks in advance…

Why are you coding in AS2?  
I can help you with AS3, if you’re interested.

The only reason I am using as2 is because I havent used flash for nearly two years. I would be happy to do it in as3, but I am having trouble figuring it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, there is no reason I cant use as3 so if you can help me with this it would be great.

I’ll post a basic setup for you to start with later tomorrow.  
Download and install [[COLOR=“Blue”]TweenMax[/COLOR]](http://blog.greensock.com/tweenmaxas3/).

If your code is how you typed it:

```auto

onrelease {
geturl(http://somesite.org)
}

```

it should be like this:

```auto

on(release){

 getURL("http://www.test.org");

}

```

I hope that helps.
