Ok I'm really just getting start with Flash and have looked for a tut and couldn't find something quickly enough for what I need...

Basically I have a movie, it gets to the end and stops using a bit of action script on the last frame. However I also want there to be a simple hyperlink on a bit of text which I have converted to a symbol (button). What is the process for doing this? Or can someone point me in the direction of a useful tut?

I've tried using

on(release) {
getURL ("http://www.website.com");
}

But get an error saying call to an undefined function.

Hi,

on(release) {
getURL ("http://www.website.com","_blank");
}

Click on the button and then add the action script to this button, seems like you are adding the code to the timeline.

Nope, he's got a space between getURL and the brackets.

Flash has no issues with spaces between function/method names and the brackets.

If he is actually using AS3 like the topic says, that code wont work. It's AS2.

You'll want to do a google search for buttons in AS3. It's a whole different ballgame compared to AS2.
