flash actionscript: I have a button in my Flash movie that is inside a movie clip. When the user
clicks on the button, I want it to go to www.awebsite.com. I used

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.awebsite.com/", "_self");
}

Except it won't go when I click on it.

your last forward slash is interpreted as a release character. try:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.awebsite.com", "_self");

I tried that, didn't seem to work. I think it has something to do with the
button being inside the movie clip, because the code is inside the button part.
When I moved the code to the movie clip part, it worked, but it messed up the
whole roll over thing I had going on. There is probably some easily solution
I'm not thinking of.
