Hi!
I'm a bagginer as far as dreamweaver MX is concerned, and I have come to a
standstill when I tried to link to a sub-page from a *.swf document. This *.swf
is a button created in flash MX and it changes its look when the mouse is over
it and when it is being clicked [so there are three states all in all] I
completely don't know how to overcome this obstacle - all I managed to achieve
was redirecting to a sub-page when the mouse scroll was over the button [and I
want it to happen when the button is being clicked, of course :) ] I tried to
change the "onMouseOver" command to "onClick" and even "onDblClick" ,but it
just doesn't work :(
any ideas?

sorry for my bad English :\

don't apply HREF links or js Behaviors to flash files.

open the .fla up in Flash, and make the link there- then export a new .swf
file, and place it in the document with dreamweaver.

> button.swf
