Hello all. I am new to posting so please be nice. I am building a flash site
and would like a page or something on how-to link my flash.swf file to a page
outside of the flash file (.fla) . Let me explain a bit more... I would like
a way for my wife to be able to use Dreamweaver or something and edit a .html
file that the flash links to that would then show the page. So, basically when
yo goto the website it would show the smal flash at the beginning and some
flash page links but the actual content is really just a static .html file.
Make sense? Can someone please point me to a how-to page or something?

Look in your Flash Help for "getURL".

Basically, attach the code to a button in your FLA that, when pressed, opens a
new page. Your SWF resides in an HTML page as it is... this will open a new
one. If the new page needs to link back to the SWF, it links back to the HTML
page that holds it. Is this what you mean?

myButton_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.thesite.com/newPage.html", "_blank");
};
