I created a button using Firework MX and then import the .png file to Flash MX.

my question is how do I give it a link or url to work with my button? I tried putting it in Firework MX after finish with my button but when I load the .png file to Flash MX, I tried and click on the button but it won’t work.

I also tried Convert to Symbol as Movie Clip and Button.

the out come is Movie clip works when mouse down etc (when i press my pointer anywhere on the screen it will load the movie or in this case the url)

the out come for the Button symbol is nothing, it won’t load the URL, I put Action/Browser&Network/getURL but it won’t work

please if you know anything about this please help me out…thanks!!!

Convert it to a button (select it and hit F8), when done right click it, choose Actions, and apply this code:

[AS]  
on(release){  
getURL(“[http://www.site.com/anything.html","\_blank](http://www.site.com/anything.html%22,%22_blank)”);  
}  
[/AS]
