Re: [Swftools-common] Simple Links? and a button problem with swfc

[John Simmons]

Thanks for your help!

The buttons now work easily with a later version of swfc.

I'm still trying to figure out:
1. how to get a pressed button to load a new URL
2. how to get a pressed button to replay the flash.

e.g.
on_press:
(do action to load new url)
(or do action which replays the flash move)
.end

I was trying

on_press:
getURL("http://host.com/newpage.html";);
stop();
.end

But that doesn't work - I have to admit my grasp of actionscript is a 
bit vague, though.
