macromedia flash sitedesign: I am working on a project that has a softball coming toward the audience from a
wall of flames. When the ball gets to it's full size, I have inserted text that
says 'Enter Here'. I want the audience to click on the text and be taken to the
index.html page. I did this before but somehow it stopped working and I am
trying to remember how I did it. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? I
don't really want to create a button on the image of the softball, just the
text. :confused;

Here is one way you can do it.
Create another layer but make sure its just above the layer where you placed
text <ENTER HERE>
Now create a KEY FRAME on the layer you just created in the same frame you
placed <ENTER HHERE>
Select this frame and then select rectangle or circle tool.(this will be the
shape of your clickable area.
Select color and then create your own totally transparent ?( alpha=0)- color.
Make sure you select no border.
Now, with same frame still selected draw over the text <ENTER HEHE> the
transparent circle or rectangle.
Select the object by clicking again on the same frame and convert it to a
button, - Insert => covert to symbol => button.
Now all you have to do is to activate the button. Double click on it => select
<ACTION> => click on + and select <ON MOUSE EVENT> => <RELEASE> => <GOTO and
PLAY> => <index.html>
Hope this helps.
