Do you mean that you want the button to go to a spesific URL?  
IF so right click the button and chosse actions. Copy and paste the code given.

```auto

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.hot.ee/syko/inertscreensaver.swf", _blank);
}

```

change the url to whatever you like 🙂

if u are linking to a movie that will load in the main swf like a flash site u can use

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“locations.swf”);  
}

change the loacations.swf to the name of ur movie
