Hi folks,

I’m quite the newbie here (print designer trying my hand at multimedia news projects), so I apologize in advance for sounding stupid a bit too often. :ponder:

OK, so I’m working on a project, and it’s going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/… Pretty routine stuff. 🙂 That I can accomplish without a problem…

Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that’s where I get stuck. ☹ It won’t let me.

I assume it’s because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That’s how I’m doing it so far.

So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?

I’m thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.

Does that make any sense? 😏

I’m using CS3, but I also have access to CS4 if needed.

Thanks in advance for your help!
