…I made an intro for a web site i am working on and i need some help with a few things - i just started using Flash VERY recently so you may have to describe some things in detail for me…

- when i test my movie, it keeps replaying itself. How do i get it to stop at its end?

- i am trying to make a “skip intro” button that will get the viewer directly to the website. I cant seem to get this to work - can you explain how to do this?

Thank you for any help you can offer!

OK i figured out how to get it to stop - can you give any advice on the “skip intro” button?

Thanks!

yah, just make a button (well covert it to a button), and then go to the actions bar and put the code:

[AS]  
on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay (123)  
}  
[/AS]

Where 123 is your frame number. If it is in a different scene, then do:

\_root.gotoAndPlay (“scene\_name”, 1)

Actually, i need a button that gets me to a web site i made in dreamweaver; not a different Flash scene. So I guess what i need to know is how do i make a button that gets the viewer to a URL?

try this

```auto

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

```

the self is to make the page thats being linked to open in the same window if not change it to “\_blank”

I tried that, but that skips the intro without even pressing the button.

I want a button in the corner of my intro that says “skip intro”, then when the viewer clicks on it, it goes to the URL of my website. Anyone?
