How do i Link to URL's using swishmax??? (flash editor)

[wh666-666]

Hi, just wondering if someone can help, someone who's used swishmax before. Im currently using it on a project. On it, it has script options to link a text box or image to an external URL in a new blank window 'on press' and generates this code:

on (press)
{getURL("www.msn.com","_blank");}

Only problem is in a browser it changes the mouse icon on mouse over but does not work at all or even show as a link or open the window when clicked and freezes the rest of the flash movie, could someone please help me with the correct coding please? Many thanks

yea soz i was typing in a hurry .. it doesnt matter if you use a full http from browser ... its more of an issue of linking external sources from an internal flash movie

What about trying on(release) instead of on(press) as follows:-

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

thats an interesting idea ... i might try using it .. although ive come up with a solution recently of re-directing to an internal html page with a re-direct script ... seems to work ... but thanks for your help and il try on release
