AS2 script for buttons

[Dragonius]

Hey Guys

I'm having some trouble with creating a button in Flash MX 2004 Pro.
The creating button part i understand but i can't quite seem to give the button an action like on click goto www.macromedia.com or when the button is clicked it takes you to a nother part of a presentation.
I can't find any tuts on the web which gives you the script in AS2 instead of AS1 (Actionscript)

Regards, Drag

ok to goto another web site add this

on (release) {
	getURL("http://www.bluepearl-design.com");
}

to another part of your flash file add this:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("frame1", 1)
}

hope this helps

[Dragonius]

nope it doesn't


I get this instead in the output window:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=25:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

this error means u havent added the actionscript to a button.

Make sure u create a button and then add the actionscript to it.

Yeah it works now , thx

do you have any idea why it works now and why it didn't work in the past, i haven't done anything different when creating buttons and adding that script?
but then yet it never worked.
