I am trying to create a button in flash CS5 and i anm using Actionscript 2.0

I have made a shape, converted it to a button, go to actions and put this script in:

on(release){  
getURL(“[http://www.anysite.com](http://www.anysite.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}

It does not work at all!

I’ve tried every variation i know and the button is not working what exactly am i doing wrong?

What does **mouse events are permitted only for button instances** mean?

Please can you assist?

Thanks

Jelly
