For this example we will tell the button to go to a specific URL when clicked. We'll start with Tutorial #4 and add the frame action to the button. Here are the steps to adding a FRAME ACTION:

1. Adding the action.
   Right click the button. Select ACTIONS from the menu.
   
   
   
2. Using the ACTIONS PANEL.
   Double-click GET URL from the BASIC ACTIONS menu. In the OBJECT ACTIONS PANEL type the URL NAME in the URL text box.
   
   
   
3. Changing the EVENT ACTION.
   Select "on (release) {" in the right hand box of the OBJECTS ACTIONS PANEL. Different options for the action appear at the bottom of the Objects Actions Panel. Choose a different EVENT to trigger the action if you like. Close the OBJECT ACTIONS dialog box.
   
   
   
4. Trying out the link.
   Select F12 from the keyboard to publish the Flash file and see if the link works.
