Changing links in a flash menu

How do I change the url for a button?

I've got a site with a flash header and it has buttons built in that go to all the different pages. The last button is the "home" button and currently it doesnt do anything at all. There is an xml file that allows me to make changes to the links.

Here is the problem -

all of the links to the other pages end with .html. The home page is just www.myurl.com as opposed to www.myurl.com/index.html or something like that. I tried changing the<link><lnk> section in the xml file for that button to www.myurl.com and it still didnt work. I'm not sure where to go from here.

I've never done anything with flash before, so be gentle.

Thanks!

dont think this is a flash question probably something to do with the xml file... however, look in the actionscript (wherever it may be) should be in frame 1 in the actions layer or in a seperate .as file, you may need to add .html to an array to allow the scripts to process it.

Could be a bit tricky if new to flash

Forget flash, the search engines are not ready for it!

if your site is based in HTML then try linking the button to the index.html page

even if index.html redirects to the home page - it should solve the problem
