Button 1

[arpan]

I have created a button clicking which the browser should open the URL I have specified. Now when I test the movie by clicking Ctrl+Enter & then press the button, the given URL opens up in a browser. But when I load the entire movie in a browser by clicking F12, though the button gets loaded in the browser, clicking it does not open the URL I had specified? Why is this happening? How do I make the button open the URL when clicked when the movie is loaded in a browser?

Please note that I am a newbie in Flash & am using Flash 5.

Thanks,

Arpan

what code did you put on the button?

check your path... may be a problem as it seems to be a stand-alone v. HTML issue...

Sorry. mates, for getting back so late. The code I have put in 'Action' is the following:

on (release) {
getURL ("

http://www.rediff.com",

"_self"
}

I'd kill the semicolon and add a http://

on(release){
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.rediff.com","_self");[/URL]
}

always use the http:// when using getURL!

happy easter!
