creating a hyperlink in flash

[chinedu]

I really didn't want to ask this question but I really need your help.

I need to create a hyperlink to a simple flash program that I have written.
Can someone please tell very simple steps of doing so.

I am a complete newbie.

Thanks in advance

From an another Flash movie or from an html?

Please understand that I am completely a newbie.

If I may, let explain what I am trying to do and if you can guide me to which one to use and how, I would really appreciate it.

I created a simple flash movie as I indicated in my first post.

While the movie is playing, I want to create a text link that says something like:

Enter Site and when someone clicks on it, he/she is taken to a website.

If this can be done from html, great.
if not, I would love to know how to do it.

Thanks for the response.

You can create a button, and set it on it's own layer for the length of your "intro" movie (or only have it appear at some point...), and add the following code to it...

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

Of course replace google with whatever url pointing to one of your htmls...

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

You could also, using static text, type some text on stage, and then hilight the word(s), you want to be the hyperlink, and in the text's properties, type in the same url in the lowest URL box... Chain looking like icon...

I tried typing the text, highting and and going to text properties box but still could get it.
That would have been easier for me than the first info you provided.

I can't find the chain looking icon.

When I highlight text, do I right-click to find text properties or what?

Ok, I finally found it!
Sorry for my slow uptake
