Hello,

1)I was wondering what I have to do so that at the end of a movie I can have the person click on a button or object and have them be taken to a web page. For example, if I were to make an intro for a website and the movie ends and then a button appears with "enter," how do I get the enter button to be a link to the home page? or any page?

2)also, whenever i make a movie it comes out looped. I dont want the movie to be looped and I tried de-selecting it but it hasnt worked and movies still come out looping away.

Thanks a lot,

John
 
2. Add a stop(); action in the last frame of your movie. Better if you put it on an actions layer only...
Insert a keyframe(F6 after selecting the frame) on the last frame, and add the stop action.

1. Since your movie is now stopped on the last frame, add a getURL to your button:
Code:
on (press){
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/myindex.html",[/URL] "_self");
}

I still cant get it to not loop.
I am quite dumb at flahs right now. I have used it three times so I think (if you can) you gotta explain it for me to understand easier.

I went to the index of the help section and it wanted me to click on a graphic on the stage and then go to Windows>panels>instance or something to that effect.

I tried that but the instance drop down menu want highlighted so I could not select anyting.
