How do I create a link to another page from a Flash movie? I think it is possible, but A HREF commands wont work. Is there something I can do in Macromedia Flash to create a link to another page. How can this be achieved? Thanks for your time.
 
BlitzkriegGenocide,
You can use the getURL action assigned to a button, or even as a simple action on your Flash's main timeline.
It would be of the following format:

Code:
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com/",[/URL] _self");

_self being the same window your Flash movie was in, and _blank (as second parameter) opening the link in a new window!
Simple as href, which you could probably use, if I'm not mistaken, in another manner.
