flash (macromedia): What have you tried that is not working?

By the way, all caps in your title will cause many helpful people here to
just filter you out. For best result, remain calm, take a breath and type

Problem - I have a series of flash buttons that I am using for navigation. Problem is, I can't figure out how to insert a hperlink into the swf file. Have tried a few hours of trial and error. Nothing will work.

No matter what I insert into the button for links and or target, the code remians the same:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="108" height="28">
<param name="BASE" value=".">
<param name="movie" value="/button2.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#003399">
<embed src="/button2.swf" width="108" height="28" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#003399" base="."></embed>
</object>

If someone could please extend a helping hand and let me know what needs to be coded to redirect to a url, I would be very much appreciative! Mahlao and excuse the screaming!

Are these Flash buttons that you inserted in Dreamweaver (Insert >
Interactive Media > Flash Button)? If so, there's an option for When
Clicked, Go To URL...

If you created the buttons in Flash, you need to insert actionscript
inside the original FLA file - e.g.;

on (release) {
getURL("mypage.com");
}
