Send me your flash file and I will fix it for you. It would be a lot easier
explaining how I fixed it then trying to figure out your problem. Sounds
like you are applying a mouse action to something other than a button.

Alright, So I'm a super begginner with this and I'm not to sure what I'm doing.

I've made a few flash animations for a splash page on a website.

But I can't get the last frame to link to the main website, I've read about 5
tutorials today, but it's not working.

Any tips appriciated.

I've tried that but it gives me an error everytime.
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=53:Line 1: Mouse events are
permitted only for button instances
on(release){

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

like that^

Is there any way to make the flash direct itself to a url once it's done? with
out any clicking?

First thing. Since you are new maybe you don't know, but forum titles like
'Please help me with Flash' while polite are useless. Just about everybody here
needs help with Flash. And each persons problem is important to them so
underscoring how important your problem is to you won't really encourage any of
the volunteers to help you. In this case a title like 'Link frame to another
page' would be much more useful. That being said, you can either use the
behavior panel or just type your own code into the last frame. BTW a good habit
to get into is to create a layer at the top of your layers and call it
'ActionScript' and then put all your frame scripts in that layer. It makes it
easier to find you code. (That is one of those things I wish somebody had told
me when I was new.)To use the behaviors make sure there is a keyframe at the
end of movie. Select it in the timeline and make sure no buttons or clips are
selected on the stage. Then from the behavior panel giant plus drop down choose
web and then Go to Web Page and type in your page. Use the http:// if you want
an absolute reference and ../name/etc.hml if you want to use relative
reference.If you want to type your own. Again make sure you have only the last
keyframe in your AS layer selected, open the actionscript panel and type in
getURL('http://mypage.com/etc.html','_self')

yes - do what Dan told you to do - he supplied answer - at the end of your
timeline (in a blank keyframe) add these actions (select blank keyframe, then
open actions panel):

getURL(http://www.yoursite.com)

make sure it is on a key frame and not on a symbol

Thanks for all the help, today is only my third day working with flash ever, So
I really don't know what I'm doing, I got the linking to work, and next time I
need help I'll be more specific with my question in the title.
