This is my problem: I’ve got a couple of movieclips, when I click on them I want them to open the URL that I’ve typed in my XML-file.

(The photos are thumbnails stored inside of the movieclips)

Here’s my XML:

```auto

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<select name="photos">
<option photo="film14" [COLOR=red]url ="[/COLOR][URL="http://sjl-v48.sjl.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=1Vb_FY_mDNI"][COLOR=black]>[/COLOR][COLOR=red][/COLOR]
 <option photo="film13"/>
 <option photo="film12"/>
 <option photo="film11"/>
 <option photo="film10"/>
 <option photo="film09"/>
 <option photo="film08"/>
 <option photo="film07"/>
 <option photo="film06"/>
 <option photo="film05"/>
 <option photo="film04"/>
 <option photo="film03"/>
 <option photo="film02"/>
 <option photo="film01"/>
 </select>

```

How do I refer to the url-code in the actionsscript?:red:

Please help me out, I just can’t get this to work!
