I’m assuming you’re trying to link your image to a URL. If that’s the case then convert your image to a button or movieclip symbol and then apply this actionscript to it:[AS]on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.yoursite.com](http://www.yoursite.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}[/AS]  
That will link to a new browser window, if you want it to replace the current window then replace \_blank with \_self
