This is what you need to do
1. Select the text that you want
2. In your Property Tool box look for a chain icon.
3. Next to it will be a text box. Type in your url using. http:www/yoursite.com/yourpage.htm or html
I am new to Flash, so please forgive me.
Linking the text is simple enough, but how do you link buttons to new web pages? I have a project set up to display text (basically, an image loader set up with Mouse Events) on MOUSE_OVER. How do I get those buttons to open up html files on Mouse Click? Any help would be much appreciated!

If you made the button then you have to Action Pane. (F9)
you would type:
on ( Note here a drop down box will open)
on (rollOver) < note instead of using MOUSE_Over your would use RollOver

How to Make Hyperlinks in Flash
If you have a text box, you can create a hyperlink by simply selecting the box and entering the link URL in the hyperlink field (pictured right).
- If the text is dynamic, the hyperlink can only be applied to the entire box.
- If the text is static you can apply hyperlinks to selected parts of the text.
- If the hyperlink is not obvious to the user, you might like to change the color of the link to blue or a color that is consistent with links on your site.
Button Hyperlinks
You can turn any button (or movieclip) instance into a hyperlink. If you don’t already have a button on the stage, do this first:
- Add or create an image on the stage that will become the button.
- Select the image then from the menu select Modify > Convert to Symbol (F8).
- In the symbol dialogue, set the Type to Button .
The next step will depend on whether you are using Actionscript 2 or 3 (if you don’t know, look in File > Publish Settings under the Flash tab).
Actionscript 2
Select the button instance on the stage and open the Actions panel (you can right-click the button and select Actions ). Enter the following code into the actions panel:
on(release)
getURL(«http://www.example.com», «_blank»);
>
Actionscript 3
First, give the button an instance name by selecting it and entering a name in the Instance field of the property inspector. For this example will will use the name myButton_btn .
In the main timeline enter the following code:
myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(«http://www.example.com»);
navigateToURL(request, «_blank»);
>
- The examples above use the «_blank» attribute which opens in a new window. Change this to «_self» or «_top» to open in the same window.
- In Actionscript 3 you can use the same code for a movieclip instance (instead of a button instance).

why not put the action in the actionscript for the button ? i.e. convert the object to a button using F8 etc right click on button and select actions then use
Thanx guys, some positive progress seen. But its nw acting funny ie. when i publish it, it keeps on playing all the scenes. This wat i used for all the buttons: on (release) <
gotoAndStop(«scene x»);
> NB: X stands for the scene number. Anyone who knows wea de problem is n hw to stop it?
Thanx

This thing is confusing me. Do you mean
1. you have made different flash movies and places them in different files.
2. you have made different scenes in a flash movie.
3. you have made different flash movies and a master flash movie where you use other falsh movies using loadMovie . Make sure that the symbol you are using is not a BUTTON, but a MovieClip.
Also if your flash movie plays all the scens without stopping check out the actionscipt in each frame.
I think your idea is not perfect. Do one thing edit that file wit my ideas.
create diff scenes for for diff pages. rename the scenes with your page names:
Scene 1 as Home, Scene 2 as About, Scene 3 as Gallery and Scene 4 as Contacts and So on..
then in every 1st frame of the scene don’t forget to put stop(); in AS. )
place the buttons in according to your design in a layer which is common to all frames of scene.. do the same for all scenes.
For Home button place codes:
on(press) < gotoAndStop("Home",1); >For About button place codes: on(press) < gotoAndStop("About",1); >For Gallery button place codes: on(press) < gotoAndStop("Gallery",1); >For Contact button place codes: on(press)
if you have more no. of page within that.. I mean if u have 2 to 3 pages or more in Gallery.. create frames for each pages.. Then create next and back buttons.
In frame 1 place only next button and in last frame place only back button.
And don’t forget to use stop(); in AS.. 🙂
For next button use code: on(press) < nextFrame(); >For back button use code: on(press)
i think you have got an better idea from this. i have given you my idea based on your AS you given.. 🙂
