I am having problems linking within my site. I am trying to make a button that opens up a new web page with a page that is situated within my site directory, in a subfolder that is within the folder that the original document is in.

I have made the button, used the get URL action and put url: subfolder/document2.html

then used \_blank as the target. However, when I publish and preview in browser, it can’t find the file.

Please help, I have scoured websites but don’t seem to be able to find anything.

As long as the path to the html file is correct, if the swf is embedded into the html file, the path to the swf will be dealt with by the html. If thats clear.
