hi all

would anyone beable to help me with this : ( ?

I have been trying to understand how to create a url link with the xml file that my menu is driven by. what I have is a menu with text amd images reading from an xml file, I have created a third text field which I would like to use as a button/link that when click it goes to a url.

does this make any sense,mmmhhh!!! he! he!

this is what I have for my XML:

```auto
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
  <image name="image 1" path="img/img1.jpg" 
  title="test 1" 
  text="INFORMATION"
  button="Go to URL 1" href="[http://www.url1.com](http://www.url1.com/)" />
  
  <image name="image 2" path="img/img2.jpg" 
  title="test 2" 
  text="INFORMATION" 
  button="Go to URL 2" href="[http://www.url2.com](http://www.url2.com/)" />
  
  <image name="image 3" path="img/img3.jpg" 
  title="test 3" 
  text="INFORMATION" 
  button="Go to URL 3" href="[http://www.url3.com](http://www.url3.com/)" />
</data>

```

I have tried to do something as simple as adding  
href=“[www.mywebaddress](http://www.mywebaddress)”

but this doesn’t seem to work, am I missing something within the flash movie. Am a newbie so please brake down little by little, :o

many thanks for any help, I have attached a demo file link for example, you will see that I have created 3 url links, each would have a different url?
