Hey guys,

So I’m building a drop down menu, and I’m done, almost, all I need is to link everything.  
The tutorial uses action script:

on(release){  
getURL("[[COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.something.com",\_blank)[/COLOR]](http://www.something.com/)  
}

so it works for me when I enter actual website (ie [coldplay.com](http://coldplay.com)) BUT I’m trying to link everything from my computer, this to be more specific: F:\ColdplayWebFinal\coldplay.html

But it DOESN’t WORK ☹ and I spent so much time building everything. Is there any way to make it work? Aiuto please:mario:

And if someone wants to see the tutorial here’s the link to youtube, it is done at the very end. [[COLOR=#810081]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVYWcNitq4[/COLOR]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVYWcNitq4)
