The old way of making a button in AS2 would look similar to this:
btnMC.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://www.newsourcemedia.com"); };
The new way of making buttons work In AS3 (ActionScript 3.0) is a bit more lines of code. So create a movie clip of a button and give it the instance name of “btnMC” and paste the following code in your actionscript panel.
btnMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown); function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.newsourcemedia.com/")); }

Yup, nice simple tut. Well Done
AS3 is the way forward!
Hi there, could you alter the get URL function so the button either loads an extneral SWF into an MC / goes to a frame within the root SWF?
