Help: Linking buttons in Flash MX 2004

[MainFramed]

<MainFramed>
I have Macromedia Flash 2004 Pro, and I can't seem to get my buttons to link right. (www.mainframed.com) I'm trying to link a button when you click on it, and then make it so the target-it opens up in "content". Does anyone know how to do this? All help would be appricated greatly!

My Post on FLASHMX2004's fourms, (still no help there):

Part I
On the link above^ you'll see that my flash banner loads, and there are four flash buttons. I can't get the buttons to link properly. Like so when you click on them they work. How do i link those buttons when people click on them?

Part II
Once i link my buttons, how do i set it so the links target is "content" (thats where it opens..)

Hope this makes things sound better....

Not sure I quite understand what you want but, if you put this actionscript on a button it will get a url for you:

on (press) {
getURL(url, window, method);
}

or if you're using frames, you could write out all the links in a javascript function in the page html and call them with the same action

on(press) {
getURL("javascript:mylink()");
}

i want you to be able to click on the flash buttons on mainframed.com (the buttons at the bottom of my flash banner) and they can be linked, but when you click on them the link opens (it's target) in "content"

Have you checked for tutorials on flashkit.com ?

You might want to visit a Barnes &amp; Noble and buy the first book that has a good example of solving your problem.

Sorry I can't help, the flash stuff I've done is for self-contained objects for e-learning (like a flash card deck) rather than website navigation.
