I need help. I am trying to create a button that link to a website and I cannot for the life of me get my flash to open a new window to a site. I am trying to have specific links to different sites for each slide, I’m not sure how to get it working. I get an error message of:  
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.  
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()  
at MethodInfo-119()

If you could help, Thanks!

my script is the following:
