never done it myself, but guessing how (and there is prolly a better way).

Make movie clip then put into the first frame of a button. THen just use the actionscript to tell the movie clip where to go to and stop/play when it is over/released.

easier than that actually. highlight the mc on your stage and put  
this action it -

to send it to an external url:

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

```

to send it to some point in your movie:

```php
on (release) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("50");
}

```

if there’s something more specific you need, list it here ane we
