You put this action script into the button:

on(release){
getURL("http://www.inserturlyouwantittogoto.com", _blank);
}

The blank is important, because it opens the link up in a new new window, rather than the window the flash is in. Is this what you wanted?

Yeah. I'm not sure he ment a button html. Maybe he thinks that you can combine actionscript and html. :D If that's the case then no. I Mean don't try it. Just learn actionscript

You can't just paste HTML into Flash.
Paste your HTML code here, lets see what you're talking about, because it's difficult to understand what you want due to vagueness

You can't use that in Flash, you have to put it into an HTML page, using an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver or Front Page (or notepad). If you don't have a webpage, then you won't be able to use that code... it has absolutely nothing to do with Flash.

can i open a html window in flash?

[Benny-Creations]

You can make a pop up window that would lead to your webpage using a button and this code:

on(release){
getURL("web address here", _blank);
}

This will leave the Flash movie on the screen. switch _blank with _self if you want the page to open in the flash movie itself instead ;)

There are very few HTML codes you can use in Flash, and, like already said, what you want to put in... won't go in.

From my experiments, I've gotten a href, b, u, i, and br to work.
