Am making a animated banner in Flash MX2004, it's my first little project in
Flash. I know Director (it's so simple there), I don't know Flash. I've got
it all working and timed, but I CANNOT find the answer anywhere in a
language I understand, *how to link to the (whole) banner to an URL*. I have
an old manual (Flash MX), read the help on mouse events, components, etc. Is
it not possible to add such a link to an object, not only a button? There
just doesn't seem to be a simple answer, I didn't find it. Please point me,
I'd like to stop banging my head against the wall.

Thanks! Marianne

just make your movieclip or button the same size as the stage and add your onPress() or onRelease() function with a getURL() to that button or movieclip.

Hi,
Make an "invisible" button and place it over everything else.
Then give it the code...
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.alanwallace.co.uk");
}
Cheers
Alan

Use the on(release) command, it allows your users to move mouse off the banner if they hold the mouse down, without activating it.

I've been doing that, invisible button, over all the other stuff, used on
(click) on (release), tried a ton of others, but I always get an error:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 27, frame=53:Line 1: Mouse events are
permitted only for button instances
on(release) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

It seems also that I can only attach the behaviour to one frame, not to a
number of frames to make that button clickable from the start of the movie.
Also I can't find a code view panel, and I can't find how to remove the
empty layers/_mc I seem to have accumulated. Everything I am used to is
hidden... :-(
