Author Links to HTML pages

How do I make a link to another HTML page in a movie? For example,
when you click on the ProtectPoint link on the first page, there's a
part at the bottom that says "ProtectPoint is a subsidary of
WebUnited, blah blah." How would I get the word "WebUnited" to be a
link to another page instead of just another part of the Flash movie?

What I generally do is create a box the size of the text you want to be the
link and make it a button. Then I set the alpha to 0 so that you can't see it
and put it directly on top of that specific text. Then give the box this script
so that when you click on it it opens the site in a new window:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.theurlyouwanttolinkto.com", "_blank");
}

Hope that was helpful.
