scriptygoddessThis is only just a small snippet of code and probably won't be totally helpful unless you have a fairly good idea what you're doing. I would make a full tutorial, except *I* don't have a complete understanding of what I'm doing. LOL! I know just enough in Flash to be "dangerous".
In any case, from what I can tell, in the latest version of Flash, there is a new way to make a button link to a URL. Instead of creating an action on the same layer as the button, you need to assign an instance name to your button. Then in another layer you have all the code for your buttons – similar to the following:
function gotoYahoo(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var mylink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yahoo.com");
navigateToURL(mylink, "_self");
}
buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoYahoo);
(If YOU know more about Flash, and have any corrections – they would be very welcome in the comments. I know how to do simple animations (like slideshows) and simple buttons – but beyond that I'm still in the very early learning stages)
