making a flash button a hyperlink

[andypilot]

Ok, I've been unable to get a hyperlink to work. So I created a flash button, thinking I could make that a hyperlink.

Not so. Anyone have the lingo that would make the cast member that is my flash button, a hyperlink?

Thanks in advance!

hi
Try this
create a transparent shape on top of the flash button
Then drag a behaviour from the Librry Palette onto the shape that takes u to a url on clicking the flash button
it should work
or u can type your own lingo

on mouseup
go to "your urladdress"
end

Try this...
Create a button, any button.. Then place a behavior on it with this lingo :
on mouseUp me
goToNetPage "

http://www.whateversite.com"

end
hope this works

I would not recommend using dummy sprites like that.
All you have to do is:
In Flash:
GetUrl("your handlers name,"any parameters"&quot

Then in director have a movie script with a handler with the same name as what yuor calling in flash.
On "your handlers name" me, "variables to receive parameters"

This way you can have flash communicate with director quite easily.
