Help! I’m new to Flash and I got Flash MX… trying to create websites and I can’t get buttons to link to another page I’ve created. I need a button to go to a page in the website not outside of the website and I can’t get it to work. It would be similar to “hyperlinking” to pages in Frontpage but I don’t want to go to another website but stay within the same one.

HELP!!! Anyone??? Anyone at all???

Are you trying to link to an html page and you want it to open on the current page? If that’s the case then just apply a script similar to this one to your button:[AS]on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html](http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html)”, “\_self”);  
}  
[/AS]

NO… trying to link pages within the same website. Like a page called “Contact Us” will have several buttons on that page to access each person’s bio or something and I can’t get the button to link to the next page it needs to go to (that person’s bio)… make sense?
