Hello,

I am not so savvy with Flash and I could really use some help.  
I have this simple widget that needs to be a clickable link.  
When the user clicks the widget it should open a webpage in a new browser window.

I imagine there are several ways to do this, I tried to make a big, clear button but Flash tells me that the script will not work unless it is inside a button instance which it most definitely seemed to be.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  
You can see the widget and/or download the .fla at:

Thanks a lot,
