First off, please try to be a little more concise in your questioning so we can give accurate answers. Considering your brief question, you’ll get brief answers.

The method you are looking for is called “getURL()”

you can either use it to call a webpage from the button

on(release){  
getURL(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”);  
}

or call a custom javascript function from the webpage the .swf is located within:

on(release){  
getURL("javascript:popUpWindowFunction(‘[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)’,‘myWindow’));  
}

Hope that makes some sense,
