Flash Movie ending (Help needed)

[mhudson]

I read the reply from davedesign on how to get a new page to load when a Flash movie has ended, but I'm so green at Flash, I didn't understand it fully. Where does getURL ("yourhtmlpage.com", "_self" go? Is it inserted into the html, or is it a behavior?

If someone with the patience could spell this out for me, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

It's in the Flash movie itself! Could be a button with a stop action on the last frame of your movie, to which you would assign the getURL action on press, release or whatever you want. Or it could simply be a direct call to the getURL action placed on the last frame of your movie.
If you want to go this last route, it's usually better to allways have an actions only layer on which you lay down actions. If you don't have one, Insert->New Layer it should extend equal to the last frame of your other layers. Select the last frame on that action layer and press F6 to insert a keyframe. Double-click that new key frame and insert the getURL action as mentioned above.
Should work!

Thanks for your quick reply. I thought about putting a button on the movie to direct the viewer to the next page, but wanted the simplest way of getting the job done. I'll give it a go and let you know how I come out. Thanks again, oldnewbie!
