helloo, i’m a newb at flash… so i had a a forum member do links for me, but he is not available at the moment.

For each link, he put

```auto

on (press) {
	getURL(_root.home_url);
}

```

and he made an individual layer for AS, code for that is,

```auto

_root.home = "http://www.myebooksystem.com/index.html";
_root.more_info = "http://www.myebooksystem.com/moreinfo.html";
_root.testimonies = "http://www.myebooksystem.com/testimonies.html";
_root.purchase = "http://www.myebooksystem.com/purchase.html";
_root.downloa = "http://www.myebooksystem.com/download.html";
_root.contact = "http://www.myebooksystem.com/contact.html";

```

My question is, in the above code, on line 1, where it says \_root.home

when i compile the SWF and I click on the Home button it shows my desktop instead of the specified url…

can anyone help?, if needed ill upload FLA (6mb ☹ )

when you put the file on a webpage, the link just doesnt work…
