Linking buttons. HELPP!

hi. when i try to link buttons. i click get URL. and the fields that should pop-up. if you want to see what i taliking about, its step number 2 in this tutorial

thank you

Step number two… that’d be:

[font=Arial][size=2]Once you select Get URL, you will see the current Object Actions window display the various fields for creating and modifying a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).[/size][/font]

Right? I’m just guessing here, since you don’t really tell what doesn’t work, but that tutorial is made for Flash 5. And I assume you’re using mx2004, where you’ll have to edit code in expert mode… So by hand.

The code would be this:

on (release) {
 	getURL("http://www.kirupa.com", "_blank");
 }

Modfiy the address to suit your purposes and leave the “_blank” away if you don’t want to open it in a new window.

Hopefully helps… I’m just guessing here :smiley:

im also using frames too. how woul di get it to load in a certian frame?

If you’re referring to frames of a html document (and not the frames in your .swf :stuck_out_tongue: ), use simply the name of the frame instead of “_blank”.

Just make sure you write it correctly, i.e without quotes and a leading underscore.
