i’ve just completed the full flash site tutorial and i’m trying to make one totally from scratch. But i’m sorta stuck cause my buttons won’t link to another swf. Does anyone know why this is? The buttons have to be made as a new symbol under ‘buttons’ right but what else would i have to do to make it work? thx for your help

yea htats the one i completed and i’m trying to make one all by myself because on that tutorial, you have to download a bit which has the buttons and some other stuff done for you. What i odon’t understand is how to make the buttons, they don’t seem to work. I’ve tried creating them as a symbol but the same thing…and i don’t think i can even make a normal button using text that works, but with circles and squares i can. Would you know how to?

Are you sure of what your saying:

Steps:

1- Select the text you want it as a button,  
2- Press F8 and convert it a movieclip  
3- Name your button instance name “myButton” in the properties inspector  
3- After completing this step, define this action into ur Main timeline(\_root):

```php
myButton.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.kirupaforum.com");
}

```

Hope this helps you!
