Button in MC when clicked - OPEN URL?

I have a movie clip that I have put a button into I have told the button that when clicked open url xxx.html

I have dragged the finished Movie clip onto the stage and when I publish it the button in the movi clip opens my browser but does not open xxx.html


my question is how can i get a button in a movie clip that has been dropped onto the main stage to open a specific web page.

All help appreciated

is your path to xxx.html correct? show us some code.

the button in the MC has the code below attached to it


on (press) {
getURL("test.html", "_blank");
}

When the movie clip with the button in it has been dragged from the library to the stage, and then published, it opens my browser and not test.html - I have test.html in the same folder as the published swf.

All I am trying to do is create a movie clip with a button in it, that when the MC is dragged from the library to the main stage, published and pressed, opens a specific html file.

Make sure the extension is html and not htm. Here's an example for ya.

It is html - I am wondering if thee has to be some reference to the button in the code - if you make a MC and then drop a button in it, drag it to the stage and when published, see what happens.

It works for me. Could you post your example?

fla file

here it is

and the test.html

So when you click on the button it doesn't launch TEST.html? I tried it and it worked for me. I'm at a loss here!

I have just tried it in Explorer and it works fine - I was using Safari on the mac - it does not seem to work on it - you have been very kind and very helpful, many thanks - If anyone has a workround for Safari please let me know
