I'm trying to work with my partner to create a site for our little company and got a flash template from template monster, ive read there help files and tried there support chat and ticket and got nowhere so thought i would try here.

basically the page has a flash header at the top which contains the navigation buttons for the site, here's the problem.

The help files at template monster tell you to do one of two things to add the geturl command -

1. double click the button and add it.
2. edit the button in the libary.

The problem i have is that if you double click the buttons they are actually a 'movie' type and cannot have the geturl command applied (and if you do try it looses the rollover movie).
If you edit it in the libary, select the button the action pane where you would type the geturl command says 'current selection can not have actions applied to it'

Just how are you supposed to add the geturl command to these buttons? (that arent really buttons like there help files says it should be, but are actually movies lol).

help!

give the buttons/movieclips a different instance name.

in the main timeline, add an actions layer and put this in to target them like so:

mybutton.onRelease=function(){
getURL("blah.html");
}
