I have created a link to an external web site, as shown in the tutorials. It works fine when you test the movie in flash, but when it’s on the web it puts my web address before the address i want it to go to. Eg [http://mywebaddress.com/www.yahoo.com](http://mywebaddress.com/www.yahoo.com)  
Can any one help?  
Thanks

You have to include http:// before the [www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com) or else it will refer to your domain!
