ok,

my stage has two buttons on it named button1\_mc and button2\_mc with there identifier name set accordingly.

I have the actionscript

```auto
button1_mc.onMouseDown = function() {
getURL ("http://www.google.com", "_self")
};

button2_mc.onMouseDown = function() {
getURL ("http://www.newegg.com", "_self")
};

```

in my actions layer

the problem that is occuring is that clicking on each button ends up with a random opening of newegg or google. I can click button1 and sometimes it will open newegg and vice-versa.

I have also tried applying the correct code to the individual mc’s with onClipEvent.onMouseDown and the same thing occurs

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
