1. creat a button symbol 2. edit that button symbol a. put a rectagle in the 4th frame b. delete to outlines c. select the rectangle d. make the fill 0% opacity f. this will make a transparent button 3. come to main movie or where your text is there and put the transperant button on that text. it ll appear as semi-transparent green. dont worry i ll be invisible when u run it. only your text could be seen. 4. now right click on button and open actions window. 5. go to browser/network … 6. double click on getURL() 7. type ur file name to be linked in URL box 8. u can leave other two blank 9. now test the movie i hope you understood ---
