Hey all! I’m putting together a page for a mock site promoting a fake movie. In the promo page I have desktops and posters for people to view. I have all the buttons made for the different sizes of desktops, like 800x600.

How do I create a link to the jpegs in AS in the buttons so that the jpeg will open in it’s own window?

Apply this script to your button:[AS]on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.yoursite.com/yourimage.jpg](http://www.yoursite.com/yourimage.jpg)”, “\_blank”);  
}  
[/AS]

Just fill in the URL of your jpg image.

And…?

The only difference if the file is on a server or on your computer is the path. If the file is in the same directory as the .swf, just use the filename in the URL area, if it is in a folder use folder/filename, etc, etc.
