Sorry for the newbie question, but I’m ripping my hair out here. I have made this header in flash mx. I have some text on it. I want to simply highlight a word and then hyperlink it to another page in the same directory.

For example I have the word “Math” on it. I want the user to be able to click on it and the math page will come up.

Do I have to know what the full URL is going to be ahead of time and use the GETURL command? I tried entering math.html into the link box and it didn’t work.

any suggestion?  
Thanks
