Hi all

We have a button object on main timeline, instance name products\_btn.

On the actions layer, is the following code:

products\_btn.onRelease=function(){

trace(“test”)

}

So we’re trying to get the button working first, before we throw a URL in there.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Totally lost…

cheers
