actionscript 1

[TrueJoker]

Hey guys!

right i ahve created a small flash animation banner. it all works apart from the link ive put in so if it is clicked it will go to a certain website. I am using the script:

on (release) {
	getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.impa.net/exhibition_overview.html");[/URL]
}

I ahve the button setup over the whole animation but it is the first layer so it isnt seen but still active etc! However the link doesnt seem to work. the browser however does register a link there cause there mouse pointer changes to show there is a link there but it does not work.

So if anyone knows what im doing wrong plz help

Summary

Flash animation to link to a specific web page when clicked on.

on (release) {
getURL("

http://www.impa.net/exhibition_overview.html",

"_blank");
}

Or replace "_blank" with "_self" if you want the url to open up in the main browser window.

hmm ok this is strange! every time i try to publish the animation it says can only assign an action to a button thread, but it is a button i have assigned it to :S i ahve converted it into a button assigned the actionscript but it doesnt recognise it as a button and i believe this is why it is not working :S

erm anyone had this problem before or know how to srot it out? cause its starting to annoy me!!
