I've got the buttons fixed but I need to know where to put the geturl action. On the frame, in the frame? If in the frame, "up", "over", "down", or "hit"?
 
On the stage... right click on your button. Select Properties. In that ACTIONS tab is where you should put your actions!

;-)
 
I tryed that but it's not leting me go to the link......This thing is starting to piss me off..... Everything I'm doing is backfiring on me. I right clicked on the button but there is no Properties in the window. I click on actions there and put the geturl in there. But it still doesn't want to go to that link. This is what I've got so far. I know that I'm doing some small wrong but I just can't figure it out.
 
First, put a stop action on frame 160 in the test2 layer, so the movie stops looping.
So you're using Flash 5 and that's why you ain't seeing properties on a right click.
Note: while testing a movie, if the output box comes out, it means you have an error somewhere!

First your get URL should look like this:

getURL (" "blank");
There shouldn't be the <;> after the url... only the <,> before &quot;blank&quot;. Posting seems to add the <;>

Don't forget the <&quot;>!
You have to specify what you want... open a new window, replace the current one, etc... Have a look in Help->Index->url for further details.

Furthermore this action has to be called by something, so you should add an ON event!
Your action list should be something like this:

on (release) {
getURL (&quot; &quot;blank&quot;);
}
There shouldn't be the <;> after the url... only the <,> before &quot;blank&quot;. Posting seems to add the <;>

I've just done it and it works!
Good Luck!
;-)

PS: Any good cracks in there?
 
Thanks. That helped alot. I just got Flash 5 and I'm still working on the site but I want to have all the pages in flash. I don't have any cracks on the site yet but I will. Check it out some time. I'm trying to get some software to get my computer set up as the webserver. I've got it on a free host now but I'll have something soon(HOPEFULLY). Thanks again for your help....Melocco.....
