Hi Guys,
Firstly, what a great site! Kirupa has been such a great source of info!
I did the random motion tut and “borrowed” the code.
Now what I want to do is the the randomly moving object at a link to a URL.
However, it seems that when an object is a ‘Movie’ and not a ‘Button’, it cannot be done using getURL actionscript.
Is this the case? How can I fix it?
Thanks

Howdy…
Since you are using FMX, you can utilize MovieClip.onPress handler to make the movieclip act as a button… So, the script will be something like this…
```php
yourMCInstance.onPress = function ()
{
getURL("blahblahlalala...
}
```
Know what I mean??? 😉

Also in Flash MX you can use Button handlers on a Movie Clip symbol.
so on (release) and such WILL still work on a movie clip symbol 😉
Gotta love MX. More people prefer Cyans way because it allows you to keep all your code on a frame for easy access, but both methods work.
