So i have a short like flash intro and at the end I have a couple words fade in, then i put each word at the end of the slide show on its layer as a button symbol [probg, producsamp, writesamp, awards, and proact are the names of the buttons]. Each word when clicked will goto a different page. I went into each button and made it bold when mouse over and added a sound when hit, which works. Then i added [at the end of the flash show as well] a layer named actions with this code in it.

probg.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, probgHandler);  
function probgHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {  
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(“probg.html”));  
}  
proact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, proactHandler);  
function proactHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {  
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(“proact.html”));  
}

…etc for all 5 buttons, but i cant seem to get it to work, also I would like it to open in the same window and tried to add (“probg”[COLOR=“Indigo”],"\_self"[/COLOR])); but i get errors, can someone PLZ PLZ help me, i looked at every tutorial i could find
