Ok so i have a movie clip that is a map and i seperated it into 3 reigions but i need it so the client can change what page will load when he clicks on the continent.

So basically it’s pretty easy to do with a text box but i can’t seem to find anything on google on how to call external variables and use them in flash ☹

basically:

```auto
on(release){
   getURL("dummyfile.html", "_blank");
}

```

but i need that to be called externally
