Button Link issue

[dopamine]

I am very new and I seem to be hacing a problem redirecting to a link after a button is clicked on.
Thanks in advance.

Redirectly, such as?

//Button, getting a URL within a new window
on(Release) {
getURL("someURL",_blank)
}


?

Actually my problem is i have a button, a text button. And a mouseover animation for it.
The on (release) doesn't work with text buttons i think

then I'll get an understanding quickly

I'm not sure what you mean by a text button. A button is a button. If you mean you made a text box and typed some text and made it into a button, you have to have your mouse over the actually text to be able to click on it. As for as the code
on(Release) {
getURL("yourURL",_blank)
}
will open your url in a new window
on(Release) {
getURL("yourURL")
}
will open your url in the current window.

Just be sure you put the code in for the button not in the timeline.

Right click on it and "convert to symbol" pick a name for it and select button.
