Should Button work in Preview?

[SpeedoSausage]

Hi, looking for a quick little response here 'cos I'm just about ready to upload a flash. I've got a YouTube button in my preloader. The thing is, when I've got the file open in Flash 8 and hit ctrl+enter to preview, I can click the button and it will send me to my YouTube page as expected. But on the exported swf of the movie on my desktop, when I try playing that, clicking the button won't send me to my YouTube page and won't do anything. I wouldn't mind that so much but I'm here at the project manager and am at the preview page just before submitting it and sure enough, the button still won't work in this preview. I don't get why the preview of it in Flash 8 will work, but not outside it. If I publish the movie, will the button function properly or do I still need to make some changes?

The odd thing is that this isn't my first time using a button, I made a YouTube button in a previous flash that worked fine, but I remember I submitted straight off and ended up having to reupload a bunch of times in order to make the button work. I don't wanna' do that this time, I just wanna' upload it with the button working properly from the outset. Thank ye.

Woop nevermind, I like just now got it working. Seems I forgot to add the "_blank" at the end of the... code thingy. Yeah I'm not much of a tech-wizard :S
