Flash question

[Albone]

I'm a Flash noob, so please bear with me.

I know how to link text in flash to a url, but is there a way to do "hotspots" ala Dreamweaver, to have a picture box or a logo link to a url?

Thanks

This is how you could do it. Select the object you want to make it a link-->go to your behaviors pallette and hit the plus sign then web then go to web page and you can handle it from there i would think. hope that helps.

Ummm. yep. You just need to make a button. You can literally make an image or shape THE button by selecting it and doing 'convert to symbol' and choosing 'button'.

It's important to understand how buttons work. Inside any button symbol that you make, there are four frames, one for each 'state' of the button. Up, over, on, and hit. Whatever is on those frames is what the user will see when they invoke that state. Anyway, the point is you can have nothing on any of the states except the 'hit' state, making the button invisible (the 'hit state' defines the hotspot). This way, you have an invisible 'hotspot'.

then just put the 'get url' action on the button and you're good.
