Hey guys,

Ok so my swf on my homepage is calling in the main.swf which then has movieclips and coded like this on the Actions layer which I made

button1.onRelease = function (){  
button1.getURL(“[http://scholarscanada.com/wordpress/education/programs/reading-readiness/](http://scholarscanada.com/wordpress/education/programs/reading-readiness/)”);  
}

Here is the site so you guys can see, I believe it has to be something with calling the main.swf into the movieclip because I’ve never encountered this issue before…

If you click on the LEARN MORE for the first image it doesnt go to the page which I ask it for.

Please help!!!
