Hi
AM creating html page with a menu I made in flash. The buttons in menu have
links attached as follows:

on (press) {
getURL("http://www.outdoorpowercentre.com", "_self");
}

Why won't it work! It works when I test it in flash, but once in dreamweaver
the only thing that works is the rollover.
Cheers!

For most reliability, you need to test getURL action in browser in real time.
Best directly on the server. There are lots of security settings within player
and browsers to prevent calls like getURL. Some mails contain javascript functions
or url calls meant to force you to open pages with span and ads you did never
asked for. Some trigger all kind of other nasty scripts. Many get fed up with being
tricked into that, hence now lots of new security features preventing that from happening.

Always best to test your work directly online. Also, you might want to remove _self.
It's a default getURL preference if there are no other targets defined.
