  • how do you link two buttons to different urls?

  • @sackman138 Make another button with a different instance name. Copy and paste the code a second time. Change the instance name and the url location in the code for the second button.

  • great video thanks got it to work! yay! now...how do I add it to my dreamweaver project?

  • dude u saved me I have project thanks verymuch 

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  • * Awesome tutorials *

    They're easy to follow. Keep them coming!

    P.S.: You can also make the text a link so that it does not involve any ActionScript.

    It would not give the impression that the user clicks on a button, though.

    You can find this option by selecting the text and check properties>option. There you have "Link" and "Target" fields.
