i’m using as2

```auto

on(release){
getURL("http://www.site_name.com","_blank"); 
}

```

i’ve tried hyperlinking directly to text, but it won’t work either.  
it works when testing the movie, but once upped it won’t work on the internet.

i did… i hyperlinked it first with the text tool… then that didn’t work, so then i removed the hyperlink, and turned it into a button and added that actionscripting to the button… that didn’t work either. so what could it be? it works when testing the move, but once uploaded to a server, and put on a site, the hyperlinks automatically don’t work.

Make sure your popup blocker is turned off… You are using “\_blank”. it explains why it works when testing the movie and not when uploaded to your server and view it with your browser.
