Creating a link

[webdev17]

How do I make my entire flash movie a link? I want to open up a url when the user clicks on my flash presentation. Thanks!

several ways, but the easiest is to simply create a button state only in the HIT field (which will make it invisible) at the exact size of the stage. Embed the button in a movie clip or have it run the entire length of the timeline. then you can add the script

on (press, release) {
getURL ("something.htm", _blank);
}

If you have other buttons for navigation, make sure that this button is at the lowest level so it doesn't interfere with the rest of the navs....

Or simply...

this.onMouseDown = function(){
getURL("

http://www.google.com/",

_blank);
};

Another way is to place this script in the frame 1 of main timeline:

[tt]//
onMouseUp = function ():Void {
getURL("

http://www.google.com/",

"_blank");
};
//[/tt]

This is a kind of hack but can be useful in a certain situation...!
