actionscript for buttons

[rb6v22]

Hello All,
I am new to flash and of course actionscripting. but i am having trouble with a button. i have a dreamweaver class where i am creating a personal portfolio for myself and created some nice buttons in flash but can't figure out how to link them to another page in my website. i have searched and searched but all i find is onRelease but its getURL and takes you to another website not a page within my site. and i am not sure if there is another tag i can use. I hope someone can help me out
Thanks

Is the other page in fact another .html page, on your website, or are you just targeting another section (frame) of your Flash buttons movie itself?

the other pages are in fact .html pages.

Then it's getURL...

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

Change "_blank" to "_self" if you want the new page to open up in the same browser window.

okay but the only problem is i haven't posted to the web right now its just being worked on in DW right now. so all i have to do is wait till it gets placed or ftp to the web? and then it will work?

You can check local files (before you upload your web site...) by using the following, changing the path part in RED to your file...

getURL("file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/MOI/Desktop/CURRENT%20FLASH%20STUFF/accesslocalfile/test.html", "_blank");

You need to keep the getURL("file:///C|/ part, insert your path, followed by the targeted file's name, as test.html above...
