Hi everyone,

I can't seem to figure out how to link to a webpage out of a button in my
movie clip.

The ActionScript for the movie clip is what is attached below my swf link.
Inside of that movie clip, I have all of the hookah buttons, which you can see
in the swf file. I need to link each one of those hookah buttons to a different
webpage. Any idea how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter=200;
speed=0.02; } onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{ var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x-=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 1539) _x=0;
if (_x < 0) _x=1539; }

When I link buttons to webpages, here is the code on a button

on (release) {

    //Goto Webpage Behavior
    getURL("C:\\My Documents\\Hisp_Lat_2008\\Pages\\Credits.html", "_self");
    //End Behavior

}

Pay attention if you are using the button inside a movie clip or if the page
you are trying to load is in a subfolder.

Hope it helps

That worked. Thanks!

It's funny how two simple lines of code "//Goto Webpage Behavior & //End Behavior" are the answer to hours of screwing around.
