oooh i finally know enough to help someone! 
hi!
after you’ve created your button, click on it and in the Actions panel (F9),
type this in:
on (release) {
getURL("[http://www.whatever.com","_self](http://www.whatever.com/)");
}
change the www.whatever.com part to your link - and by the way,
the _self can be changed to _blank to make the link open in a new page.
you can apply this code to all your buttons and that’s how they all
open links… as in pages on the net…
to make the buttons go to another frame inside your movie…that’s something else.
hope this helps,
aioros
I think one of the reason you’re having problems is that the tutorial is written for Flash MX (non-pro) version. the Professional version doesn’t have those handy little drop down boxes to guide you… 'cause you’re a pro and don’t need em 
just paste the code above and it should work.
3rdeye is right…
in mx 2004 pro you will find
’on’ and ‘getURL’ in…
Global Functions>Movieclip control>on
Global Functions>browser/network>getURL
eeegh. i hate how the versions differ like that. i wonder what version i have,
because i dont have the guides either, but i dont have pro! 
you can flip between them <atleast with the demo version> under the ‘HELP’ menu. Pro is mainly component add-ins and more detailed classes… I believe. Usability should be virtually the same, tho I’m not sure. any one know?
hihi aioros and all!
thank u for the replies! The hyperlinkings work! but just one last question, what is the code needed for an “email me” button? i tried to replace the “www.whatever.com” with my email addy and it did not work…is there anything else that i need to modify?
Thank you once again!
regards,
ernie
Hi
EmailButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("mailto:you@somedomain.com");
