    Hi Guys,

    I have a small flash animation created by a guy from DP forums.
    All works great but i not want to add a link to it so that when the user places the cursor over the top it will act as a link to another page.

    Can anyone tell me a real simple way of doing it?

    If i select a layer and make sure all frames are selected then what?

    There is a Flash action called "getURL" that will do what you want. Look it up in the help pages or online for the details. This will work programmatically in your ActionScript code.

    Some screen elements (like certain types of text) have a "link" field that you can also use as an html link.

    Hope this helps.

    It should look like this in your actionscript pane simply put it on your button or give it an instance name.

    on release() {
    getURL("yoururl.com");
    }
