Hi Guys,

I made a map for big shopping center in flash that uses tooltips to display the shop names when moused over. Is there anyways I can make a url(html) from any of those shops refer to its specific movie clip? I am askingt because the shops wishes that its customers or site visitors should easily see the location of the shop when they click " show shop location on map"

Thanks…

Thanks guys for the replies…was on vacation…the input was helpful but with some of these examples I can only control the main time line. Hope to find something that will help me point to a specific movie clip embedded in the main timeline.
