well usually using "<a href..>" wont work for that. you would need to make it into a button via the .fla. Select the figure, and right click on it. Select "Create Symbol" click "create button". now, double click the newly made button. Youll be sent to the button animation panel. this may cause you to recreate the animation via the button animation panel. (up, over, down, and hit. works just like keyframes. over is the same as hover)
(im sure you are fluent with flash?)
no for the actionscript. you need to go back to the main canvas, and right click on the newly made button, and select "Actions" :

this is your code:

Code:

on (release) {
	getURL ("http://YOURLINKHERE", "_self");
}

no better way to explain it :s

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you want an .swf file to open up when a user clicks a link? Or do you just want an animation to play when a user clicks a link?

well, i need to know why it didn't work, but ill try and mess with it

i see your problem. you added the code INSIDE the button. you need to go back and add it to the button on the MAIN CANVAS.

but first, ill mess with it and post a link. also, i dont know if you want the animation to stop at the end, if you do, on last frame, under actions on the MAIN CANVAS add

Code:

stop();

heres your fla

There are a lot of great online sites where you can learn the basics of flash action script. I recommend www.echoecho.com/flash.htm

If you stick to it you will learn to do allot with flash in a short time.

Wow a lot of that is seriously old and depreciated. I don't know when that blog went up with that info but they might as well take it down as most of it is useless and rudimentary at best.

And closing a year old thread now. Please don't bump old threads that have been resolved with links to information that doesn't pertain to the OP.
