hi people,

i don’t want to sound cocky but i’m in need of urgent help.

i have a movie button that i want to link to a html within my site.  
eg; mydomainname/the-html-page i want it to link to.

my code  
**Code:**

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(rewind == true){  
prevFrame();  
}  
}

this.onRollOver = function(){  
rewind = false;  
play();

this.onRollOut = function(){  
rewind = true;  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
getURL(“www.mydomainname/the-html, \_blank”);  
}

but it’s not working. it just add the extra stuff on the existing adress. something like [www.mydomainname/www.mydomainname/the-html](http://www.mydomainname/www.mydomainname/the-html)
