Inside my animation I have some text that I want to link to a different page. So I high-light the text and at the bottom of the properties pannel I put in the location of the file I want it to link to. The text is not in a tween, and its not a symbol. So for instance I will add in the url and then click on the text that should be a link and I get this error:

Firefox can’t find the file at  
/MyComputer/Users/me/Desktop/MySite/mainpage.html.

Now whats funny is that it adds an extra “.” for some reason.

Any help at all would be great.
