I've begun work on my website and my Pre-Home page will contain a fairly small flash intro. I would like to know how i can program the flash intro's buttons (Enter Site, About Us, Contact Us etc.) to open another URL in the same window as well as a new window?

I'm still a bit confused.

Which help menu??? On Flash or Dreamweaver.

I'm new to this stuff but i have my intro made, so i need help linking the buttons to open a site.

How I do it is first I select the button I want to do something, then I select "window" and then "actions" from the menubar. This will bring up the actionscript panel. Then paste in this code into the window:

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

}

That will open it in the same window. If you want it to open in a new window, just replace "_self" with "_blank"

Hope that helps.
