    Default linking a button in a flash movie menue

    I have a menue that is a flash movie. Where do I edit what html page the buttons are linked to. When i go into flash and open the fla in the library the buttons are specified as movie clips and no where in the propeties do I see a "link" area. I need to change where one of the bunttons in the already created flash menue links to. This is a template that I am editing btw.

    Thank you very much for any info may be able to give me.

    Hi,

    The two standard methods of codeing are frame and object. Object code goes directly onto the object in question. Highlight any buttons or movieclips on the stage and open the actions panel to see if they have any code. Frame code usually resides on the first frame of the main timeline. You would be looking to edit something like...

    Frame...

    myButton.onRelease=function(){
    getURL("http://somesite.com")
    }

    object...
    on(release){
    getURL("http://somesite.com")
    }

    Once you locate the code in question, modifying it should be easy.
    A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.
