Creating buttons with Macromedia Dreamweaver....

Factual Questions
1

Quick question:

I’ve created a button in flash for a website I’m creating in Dreamwever. When I export it from Flash to Dreamweaver, I can’t figure out how to make the button a link. How do I make it so that if the button is clicked, it will open a page in the mainFrame of the page?

I’ve spent hours trying to figure out how to do this myself, and I’ve given up.

Thank you!

If nobody else answers this, could you please email me a copy of the Flash button (an .SWF file, probably)?

I don’t know the answer offhand because I don’t use Flash much, but I’d like to mess around with Dreamweaver and see if I can get it to work.

The answer is you can not make it a button using html.

You must edit the flash.

First convert your button to a symbol of hte type “button”.

Then select the button by a single click of the button and go to the Actions editor.

add this code to your actions for that button

on (release) {
getURL(“http://www.yoursite.com/page.html”);
}

Thanks so much Lexi!

One more question, how do I I add the target “mainFrame” if I want it to open in a certain frame?

Thanks again.
