Work reduction for multiple actionscript

[yandso]

Here is what I have. I have a state map, when you mouse over the counties the name shows up in the middle of the movie and the county is highlighted, I did this by turning each county into a button and then I assign the county name to a variable. Of course I had to script each county. Now I need to add a on release action that will redirect the user to a page and pass along the variable information. I figure that GetURL would work with the variable appended to the end however I do not what to have go through and script each county again. Can anyone think of a way that I could kick off the GetURL script anytime they click on the movie? I am not overly worried about them passing no data if they are not over a county when they click.

Thanks

You could place an invisible button over the entire map and place the GetURL action on it.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

You can fire an action with onMouseDown.

this.onMouseDown=function(){
trace("mouse was clicked");
}
