i have a problem.
i have a button on my flash clip, and i have linked it to a url using the get url method as follows:
on (release) {
getURL(“[http://www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com)”,"\_self",“GET”);
}
when i test the SWF file in flash, the button opens up a new web page.
However, when i publish the file in Flash, and then open the HTML file and click the button, the webpage will not open.
what am i supposed to do, i need help now!
