In the future it would be nice if you posted the fix on trap17 but since I'm so uber pro at flash I'll tell everybody for you. The problem was that you were putting an on event in a frame. Any time you use on(etc...), it needs to be in the actions of that symbol itself. If you just put it in the frame, flash has no idea what the user is supposed to click on for the event to happen.

multiple buttons and URLs in CS4Giving A Flash Button A Link

Hello...

in CS4 I got one of the 5 buttons I've created and animated to work using action script:

 

bandpage.AddEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);Function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {   navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.Lc_band.Html"));}

works great...But when I try to duplicate that code and change the instance name to the next button...And change the URL I want to navigate to, I get an error and neither of the buttons work...

So the question...How do I assign a unique URL to each of my 5 buttons? Very perplexed!! Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!
