The ActionScript will look like this...


on (release) {
getURL("http://yoururl.com", _top);
}

is it the same if i wanted it to jump to just a single page for testing before i put it live?

sort of...

if you put the .swf file in the same directory as the file the button points to the the code would look like this...

on (release) {
getURL("yoururl.htm", _top);
}


BUT

Remember that if the file(s) are on your computer and you have the file that the Flash button points to in a different directory then it will not be able to find it because the file path looks like this...

file:///c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/index.htm (this path is an example only)

Hope that helps!

::Edit:: also I just thought about it and in case you don't know the _top does not get quotes as it is an expression
