Hello
New here :]
Anyway im a Graphic design student, during my time off between semesters i decided to dig deeper into some programs we have barely scratched the surface on in school.
I just finished going over the Total Training DVD on Flash 8 and it was quite informative. I enjoyed it so i also ordered the action script dvd and one for illustrator as well. Either way i started developing a flash personal website "almost done with the layout, will post a link for your constructive criticism in a few days". Its more of a portfolio website to showcase my work as i go though school.
Either way i followed a template of some buttons i liked, just used it as a general idea and threw my own twist on these buttons. They were fairly easy but the action script is where i get lost.

Now in the tutorial they give you general scrip to make the button animate on roll over and what not which works well. The link part is what i need to change. When someone clicks say, my "portfolio" button, i want it to open my portfoiol flash picture animation on the main stage, right now its set up to open an external link.

So i guess my 1st question is what do i need to change on my script to get it to open a new "stage" for each link off the main "home" animation.

Here is the script.
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_Portfolio_mc= true;
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_Portfolio_mc= fstartlse;
}
on (release){
getURL("http://www.idontwantaurl.com/");
}


Thanks!:p
