more than likely, you’re not putting the proper reference in your button links.

i think u have to add the script in MX to each button, then import them into DW.

in MX, select the button, press F9 and enter the code in the action script field. it should be something like this:

on(release) {  
getURL(“page.html”, “\_self”);  
}

… also this is for a popup page:

on (release) {  
//customize the window that gets opened  
// 0 equals NO.  
// 1 equals YES.  
address = “page.html”;  
target\_winName = “kirupa”;  
width = 300;  
height = 263;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 0;  
resizable = 0;  
openWinCentre(address, target\_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);  
}
