    Hi All,

    I am a newbie to this site and I would like some help with an fla file I am trying to edit.

    There is a pre-existing link and I want to edit it. I have found the area in which I thought it was the right place to edit it, but there is no link there. But once the flash plays there is a link.

    I am a novice but I do have IT experience. Flash is a new thing for me and this is a little frustrating :)

    Can anyone help please.

    Actually it seems that I have found a way to edit it.

    This is a template I have and when I edit the movie clip in the library then hit F9 it brings up the actions. It is getting its URL from a txt file in the root of the site.

    How can I make this movie clip refer to a URL from within the fla file and not reference the txt file?

    This would be the code in AS2:

    myMc.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("http://www.google.co.uk/", "_blank");
    }

    All I see is this.

    this.loadVariables("_urls.txt")
    Stage.showMenu=false;
    stop();


    that urls.txt file contains links.

    Also is there anyway to display the flash file at its completed stage, at the end of its animation.
    I want to be able to display the flash at the top of the page as in the home page but I don't want it to play, I just want it to be there already at its end.
