make the image a button or a movie clip
to do so click the image and press F8

from properties give the button/movieclip an instance name (clip, say)

to the frame actions add

clip.onRelease = function(){
getURL("

http://www.yahoo.com")

}

Several ways... Here's one...

Add an invisible button on another layer above your picture.
Using the rectangle tool (with border unchecked) draw a shape that covers your picture. Convert this shape into a button symbol. Edit the button and copy the shape on the UP state to the HIT state. Clear all other states. Return to the movie, where this button will appear as light blue, but will not be seen in the final movie. Right-click it, and open the Actions window and set this script:

on(release){
    getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/your.html",[/URL] "_blank");
}

Replace "_blank" with "_self", if you don't want to opend a new browser window for the link, but for it to load in the same browser window already opened.

how do you make an invisible layer? I have an image and I have 2 different url on it. I think an invisible layer would work on this but I cannot uncheck the border.??
thanks
