How can I link a banner to a url? 3

[gxydas]

Hi all,

I'm new in these things and I have a simple question (I guess).
I've made an advertisement banner with text and button symbols. The question is how could I redirect the user to a url when he/she clicks everywhere on the banner.

Thanks anyway

How about a transparent button symbol (with a getURL action) on the top layer, covering the entire banner?

On the first frame...

this.onMouseDown = function(){
getURL("

http://www.google.com/",

"_self");
};

Thanks boys it worked but the mouse pointer does not change when it moves over the banner (in i.e.).

This will do:

[tt]//
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.beginFill(0x000000, 0);
mc.moveTo(0, 0);
mc.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
mc.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
mc.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
mc.lineTo(0, 0);
mc.endFill();
mc.onRelease = function():Void {
getURL("

http://google.com/",

"_self");
};
//[/tt]

Transparent Button/MovieClip would be easier for you perhaps!? This is cooler though!

Thanks Kenneth Kawamoto
Where should I place this code?
Should I use a transparent button symbol and put the code on the first frame?

You don't need anything (that's the point of this script!) - just place this script on the main timeline.
