I am trying to create links for pages within a site, but only one will work, and I get scripting errors, "Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 21, Frame=92: Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler"or I get "Symbol=Symbol 17, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1:
Mouse events are permitted only for button instances"

What do I do?
Please help!!!
I already tried on release, then get url,

I still get these errors...

Thanks in advanced

Hi Jason,

I was having the same problem as you with my buttons.

Here is the script I used and it is working fine for me.

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(467);
}

In this script, when the button is pressed and released, I want the playback head to go to Frame 467 and then stop playback.

"Symbol=Symbol 17, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances"

For this error, it looks like Symbol 17 in Layer 1, Frame 1 is most likely a graphic instance and not a button instance. You just need to change what type of object it is. Highlight the instance and then right-click on it. Go to "Properties" and change th
e instance to Button.

Hope this is helpful.
