Hiya,

I am quiet new with Flash and finidng it's not quiet as easy as i first hoped.
I want my navigation to consist of drop down menu's, which i have managed to
create no problem. But i now want to link my sub menu's to a url and can't
work out how on earth to do it, i have tried as many things as i can think of
to solve this problem, but i am having no luck what so ever. All that happens
is either nothing or my drop down menu will no longer let me roll down as far
as the sub menu option i have tried to add a link to.

Here is a link to my swf file, to give a little more understanding:

If anyone could help me out it would be very much appreciated as tis is for my
FMP work at college and my deadline is fastly approachign so i'm getting rather
worried.

Many thanks Charlotte xxx

If you want to go outside your site to a URL, then on your nav buttons use this
code:

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

If you want to navigate within your Flash site, then it gets a little more
complicated. Check this post I made earlier about site navigation:
