I’m getting the error message below for a button I have that goes to url function. What code do I need to do for this to work?

This is what I’m using now:

**on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.angelfire.com/in/HisTruth/copyofindex.html](http://www.angelfire.com/in/HisTruth/copyofindex.html)”, “content”);  
}**

(Can I use this code and just change it to actionscript 2 instead or what?)

WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.

thanks for any help,
