make a button with link

[rubyme8]

Hello,

I am new to flash, I made a simple flash header document and want to put links in it. I have made the buttons and when you are in ie explorer the hand comes p when your mouse is over the button but nothing happens when you click on it, I thought you just had to put the link url in the linkage box. Could someone please point me in the right direction on how I would go about creating a button in flash 9. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Zach

The "linkage" box, if you're using the right terminology, refers to the ActionScript class that is used by the button symbol. What you want to do is add an event listener to the button in ActionScript and in your listener function, call navigateToURL() to open the new URL.
