Question and Explanation:

I have a movie that has 10 buttons each button I want on (release) to load a music file using users default media player. Do I use this code:

on (release)  
getUrl("filetomovie);  
}  
???

Thanks in advance.  
MT

Well I don’t have experience trying to load sound files that open in new programs but when I have loaded sounds it is more like loading a mc or a movie…treating the sound as a mc. Maybe just try the code you have posted and see what happens - it may work.

Not trying to load external movie. I just want buttons that enable users default media player to load a song from a site folder on (release).  
Thanks though and I will keep trying things.

Are you sure you have the address for the MP3 typed in correctly? (copy and paste into the browser). It should work just like a normal link. If the WMV files work, the MP3 should.
