I wish to use a image as a button, so when it’s pressed it goes to the url.

I have been trying all day, but still can not get it to work. I have made the image a button then used this code

on (release) {  
getURL (“[http://www.j-smith.org](http://www.j-smith.org)”, “\_blank”);  
}

but i get this error

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=4: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances  
on (release) {

Can anyone help me?
