Just place the text on those bars… Then convert the text to a MovieClip… Then…

Place this IN the text’s movieclip actionscript.

[AS]  
on (press)  
{  
gotoAndPlay(“home”);  
}  
[/AS]

Or if you want it to load up other pages HTML wise…

getURL(“[http://www.fantom-stranger.com/](http://www.fantom-stranger.com/)”, “\_self”);

If this doesn’t work… Don’t ut quotes around the URL… The self part just asks where you want to transfer the movie… It can be \_blank to set up a brand new page or \_parent to go to the parent window or \_top to go to the top level frame.
