I am new to flash and this forum, but i have managed to import a flash animation i made in another program into flash cs3. I have converted it to a button, and i am trying to insert a hyperlink into the flash button. In action script 2 i insert:

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

this does not work in preview or published on the internet.

Can anyone please help me with the code? I would be very happy if someone could help me with this.
