i cant seem to get this answered so i thought id ask again... ive got 2 drop
down menu's in my movie--how do i link them to a url... and how do i link my
buttons to a url as well... flash newbie here... also this is a question that
is a little out there...help me out if you can..im going back and forth with
doing the site totally in flash and html... im building a site for an indoor
football team and one of the characteristics of the site is that it will be
updated constantly... is there a way something can be set up; so, i can enter
in say daily new's article's and have them populate the page...etc... example
lay out the page in word and link it to a flash page... so when im updating the
word doc - layout/ strucuture etc...the flash page mirrors it if that make's
any sense....

for the button, this goes on the button itself, highlight the button and put
this code in the action panel
on(release){
getURL("http://www.yourpage.com",_blank);
as for the drop menu assuming it's the combo box
give the combo box an instance name of "my_cb" and put this code on the
timeline

//Add items to combo box
my_cb.addItem("excite.com");
my_cb.addItem("google.com");
// Create Listener Object.
var cbListener:Object = new Object();
// Assign function to Listener Object.
cbListener.change = function(event_obj:Object) {
getURL("http://www."+my_cb.selectedItem.label);
};
// Add Listener.
my_cb.addEventListener("change", cbListener);

when you say timeline what are you saying... im so new to this... i dont
understand... am i supposed to go to the component inspector and enter this
info in ... if not where do i need to enter the info at...
