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:
```auto
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 😃

If you’re referring to frames of a html document (and not the frames in your .swf 😛 ), 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.
