I made a short intro in Flash and want it to eventually switch to another HTML page automatically after my Flash finishes.

Basically a splash page to a “more info” HTML page. I do not want the viewer to have to do anything, no clicking on buttons or anything.

Use the getURL action on a frame.

Thanks for the reply.

I was trying that but my not knowing a whole lot about Flash is causing me problems, I am self learning. When I got to that point after clicking on the actions - geturl, I could not enter the hyperlink url in anywhere, it would not allow me to do this.

Select the last FRAME and you should be good to go (not an object on the stage).

in a frame action (so it’s triggered by the playhead) add these actions:

getURL("/yourwebpage.com");

that’s a relative path - if you need to go to a different server:

getURL(“[http://www.newwebpage.com](http://www.newwebpage.com)”);

so, to recap - make a blank keyframe towrds the end of your timeline and copy/paste the above actions (actions panel \> Expert mode).

hope this helps.
