I am pulling my hair out trying to fix what I have done. I am fairly new to Flash MX. I have created a presentation that has four button links and some other graphics. All together there are about 20 layers and 50 or so graphics of various types.

Problem: When I view the swf file (in the preview or HTML) it autonavs to one of the links. This is working much like the JavaScript onload(document.location="page.html"). No customer is going to have a chance to see the flash because it navigates away.

How did this happen? Like I said. I am new to flash. That should explain it wuite well. I was trying to figure out how to put a link on a button. I was clicking around and trying to add it here and there. None of them seemed to work like I expected so I read the doc. I must have screwed with something.

So this is the question. I need to track down where this thing is kicking off. I am not really wanting to go through 20 layers of objects and actions to find this. Is there a way to view all the actions in a flash movie and edit them? How would you track this down? Do I have to go through each object and look at all the actions? Arg! Help!
 
Well you can open up the Movie Explorer under Window, but you'll still have to somewhat look for it.
You must have a getURL lying on a frame action rather than a button's actionscript.
