How to Link a Symbol in Flash CS4

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

When you have your symbol*, click on it, hit F9, paste the following code into the actions panel:

on (release) {

getURL(“http://tylerfraser.com”);

}

Important note: cut and paste in notepad – change the quotes to regular quotes, my wordpress theme is changing it to quotes that flash won’t recognize.

I’d like to quickly say something about code. It’s amazing how much you can get done with cut and paste. Don’t be discouraged with programs/ design and how you might need to master code. Just do the research and outsource what you can’t figure out.
