try putting a get url action in the last frame of your index movie.
getURL ("

Simply try adding the following on the last frame of your action's layer if you have one:
getURL ("yourserver.com/home.html", "_self"
;
Obviously change the red to your path & your homepage's html. Use "_blank" in the window field, if you want to open your homepage in a new window and keep your Flash in the other window. Using "_self" will replace your movie in the window.
If you don't have an actions layer (you should!), you can allways try adding a button with the same action.
Or simply add it to the last frame of your longest layer, not a very good practice!

thanks guys, that was a very quick response.
I haven't uploaded the actual site as yet, so i can't point to any urls. I guess i should wait till i upload it.
So there is no way to link it without pointing to a url, ie pointing to an actual file?
Thanks again

Well...you could point to the file on your hard drive just as easy by typing in the address. (C My question would be...why do you want or need to do that? If you do just make sure you change it to the URL of your web site before uploading. Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

Just put in what you think your homepage html's name will be. For now, you'll probably get a 404 (page not found), but at least it'll get you somewhere for the time being. When your homepage html is uploaded, your flash movie should then correctly link to it so to speak.
Virt, I guess it would work but not as you have it typed out above. Someone copying that code would probably copy the first ";" before the "" which would probably cause it not to work.
Not working outside... Too cold! About 2 degrees Celsius!
Preparing to paint the kitchen instead... And starting with that ceiling is certainely not appealing!
