I'm creating a Flash based website as my Final exam and it is due in exactly 8 hours. The problem I have is that nothing is linking correctly. I cant seem to find anywhere on the internet how I can link a button to another offline page ... in other words how can I link to an offline .htm page in flash? Do I use the getURL actionscript still like this?

on (release) {
getURL("HI:WEBSITE:SITES:PHOmain.htm");
}

if so how do I make it work?


SOMEONE help PLEASE !!!! :(

If you mean a page on your machine, then something like this...

on (release) {
getURL("file://c:/windows/desktop/your.htm", "_self");
}

Or "_blank" rather than "_self", if you want it to open in a new window.
