I was looking at the tutorial on infinite loop [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm)

and was very curious if we can link to the portion of graphic or movie to a hyperlink.

if you move ur mouse over the loop, it seems like you can…but i’m messing with the file and i can’t seem to find any type of link that i can address the graphic or movie to.

i’m new to flash, but not new to programming. any help is thankful.

The buttons are in the mc called “menu”.  
Open that and you can script them eg like Ubik did above;)
