I have a project that I will put on a mini cd. I want to link some buttons on it to direct the user to a web site. How do I do that? I cannot put the action into the button and I am not sure how to do it even if it would let me do that.

Thanks,

getURL(url [, window [, “variables”]])

so, for yours, it’d probably be…

```auto

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

```

tookie! tookie! done!

BTW, that’s just for a button…you would place the getURL code elsewhere for other functions.
