It would be helpful if you post this mysterious “error”.

All you need to do it put something along these lines on the button:

```auto
on (release) {
   getURL("http://www.yahoo.com");
}

```

what code are you using now?

getURL should work but remember to set the whole path:

```auto
on(release){
getURL("http://www.yahoo.com");}

```

_edit_ defective beat me to it! 😛
