first you’ll need to convert your text to movie clip [F8]  
then paste the following actionscript in the movie clip

```auto
on (rollOver) {
     getURL("place here the page you'd like to display", _self)
}

```

you can change ‘\_self’ to ‘\_blank’ if you want it to open in a new window

Hey,

I meant like

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“locations.swf”);  
}

like on the fullsite tutorial but a mouse over version, cause the full site one opens when I click on it…

Thanks for the previous help:)

Thanks for the help, how can I make a pic load before that like on [www.m2mz.com/dl/lyrics/wonderwall/](http://www.m2mz.com/dl/lyrics/wonderwall/) instead of a person rolloving over the little pic to see a bigger pic how I make it load that pic to take up the space when a person goes to that site…
