Button to open a new URL..help!!

[momoto]

It's my first time to do the "get URL "action onto my swf in Flash 5. I want to set a button to open a new URL on the same browser.

I got confused to set the variables on the "get URL".

Who can help me out!! Thanx. ;)

getURL ("myURL", "_self");

[momoto]

Oh thanks.

Then I don't have to set the variables?

I tried to set the URL, and the browser did open the correct URL page, but the page can't be loaded, do you know why? Is it the problem of I set the variables to "GET"?

u shouldn't have to set any variables for it i don't think. just use the get url code and it should open it??

[momoto]

Hum.. I think I know what I did wrong before, and I got it now, thanks you guys.

But one more question, should I set "loadMovie" before the "get URL" action to make the page load faster?

:p

[Tink]

nope

i don't think u need to bud

if u want to open the page in a new window there is a good tutorial on this site 'opening pop-up windows' or something. involes a bit of javascript but u can copy and paste most of it. might be worth a look.

good luck
