Problem with Invisible button over the Flash movie clip

[kars01]

I have been trying to link an html file to a Flash movie clip with animations.

In order to link the file, I placed an invisible button over the movie clip. Now when I preview it in the browser, the link works fine, but the invisible button has taken away the animation effects. The clip remains static even when I move my mouse over it.

Any idea why this is happening? Am I doing this wrong?

Any inputs/advice is really appreciated.

Try removing the button, and adding the following on the first frame...

onMouseDown = function(){
// your getURL call here...
}

When I enter the following script in the first frame, I am getting an error (I've pasted it after the script).

button1.onRollOver = over;
button1.onRollOut = out;
button1.onMouseDown = function()
{
getURL('Mypage.html',_blank);
}
button1.text.buttonText.text = "MYPAGE";

function over() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function out() {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
}



**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: '(' expected
on relea

Is there something wrong with the script?

Forget the button... Make it a graphic if you need the text displayed.

Just use the following on the first frame...

this.onMouseDown = function(){
getURL("Mypage.html","_blank");
}

This might not work locally, but online clicking anywhere, should open a new window with the link.
