Create a shape somewhere on the stage using either the circle or square tool.

Highlight the shape and press F8. From the menu, give the instance a name and make sure the "Button" option is selected. Press Enter.

Double click the shape and in the 3rd frame of the timeline [ Over ] right click and insert a "NEW KEYFRAME". Highlight your shape again and give it a different colour.

Return to the main timeline by pressing "Scene1" on the left side of the timeline.

With you shape highlighted still, open the actions panel and type the following :

Code: [ Select ]
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.ozzu.com", "_self");
}
  1. on(release) {
  2. getURL("http://www.ozzu.com", "_self");
  3. }


Publish your movie and test your button.

Code: [ Select ]
on(release){
gotoAndPlay(5);}
  1. on(release){
  2. gotoAndPlay(5);}


substitute "5" with whatever frame or bookmark (in which case, the syntax is gotoAndPlay("bookmark"); ... quotes are key) you have... if you want to go to a frame in another scene it's like:

Code: [ Select ]
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("scene1",4);}
  1. on(release){
  2. gotoAndPlay("scene1",4);}

or
Code: [ Select ]
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("scene1","bookmark1");}
  1. on(release){
  2. gotoAndPlay("scene1","bookmark1");}


or whatever... enjoy... yeah... you can also do gotoAndStop...
check out the actionscript dictionary, it's real helpful...

peace out.

Your Ozzu rank is just a reference of how many posts you have made, not how much of a brianiac you are. You can make 500 posts purely asking questions and you'd still be an expert just like the person who made 500 informative posts.
