Hello,

I’m working on an interactive map of the united states in which each state is a button inside a movie clip. The states get larger and move up in depth when you go over them then shrink back down when you mouseout. All of this (finally) is working right.

I wanted it to work so that when you clicked on a state it sent you to a seperate page for that specific state… Here is where I met my new problem. The code I’m using is:

onClipEvent(mouseDown){  
getURL(“[http://blahblah/arizona/index.php](http://blahblah/arizona/index.php)”);  
}

with a seperate link for each movie clip on the stage of course. Now, when I test this in Flash it opens up an explorer window for every single state when I click on one.

When I put the swf on a website and use it, each state I click on links me to California for some reason.

I’m sure it’s just the syntax and then way I’m setting this up but I don’t know of a better way to do it without having to redo tons of my actionscript for each state. If anyone knows a quick solution or a better approach I would appreciate it!
