hi all ...any body got any clues on this one ? i have managed after several hours ( as a fresher to flash !) to work out how to assign the get url action to a button i have created in a flash movie .....i can get it to link to a web url but cannot get it to goto an internal page ( the button is under a pic and says enlarge- when clicked its meant to open up a new window, for which i used the "blank" method ...i have created a html page which is in the same site folder as all the others to do with this site ....it should link to it !! shouldnt it ?
this is what i have in the action box...

on (release) {

{getURL("craigpic.html", "blank");


}
}


i have tried this with the full path as the url i.e C:\Documents and Settings\craig\Desktop\winton elim church test site\craigpic.html but still doesnt work !! i have even tried it witht the slashes facing the other way ( as i read this makes a difference ..)

i am going crazy !!!!! any help much appreciated

try typing in the absolute URL like this

getURL("file:///C:/BlahBlah/anotherblah/document.html")
