How do you make the whole Flash animation be a link for another page? I tried using <a href...> in my page but it doesn't work. Help...

add a blank layer to the stage. Make an invisible button that covers the whole stage. then add "On mouse release", "get URL" bit of actionscript and ur done. If you dont know how to make a invisible button holla back.

I think I know how to make the button. But I can't figure out how to make it invisible. If I try and copy equal size invisible .gif image into Flash nothing happens. How do you do this...

Draw an object on the stage using the rectangle tool the size of the stage or however big you want the button. After that select the object and click on "convert to symbol", select graphic. select the object again and you will see a field called color in the properties menu, choose alpha and set it to 0%. WHAMO you have an invisible graphic, now select the object and hit "convert to symbol" and choose button. You now have an invisible button.

I'm an idiot! I use the alpha option all the time. Thanks for the good explanation. That ought to do it for me. I'll try and work it out. If any problems I'll be back for more.....thanks.....
