Desperate help needed linking .swfs

[Idocreating]

So i am making a website for a college assignment, it's in for tomorrow and i really need help.

I have used Dreamweaver 8 to insert a layer and inside the layer i have put a 3 frame animated text .swf

The aim is you click the .swf and it goes to another part of the site, like with the buttons above for Flash Portal on Newgrounds.

The problem is i have no idea how to link via those, do i need to make them buttons?

Actually, you need to make the buttons inside of the .swf itself...you can't actually link the swf itself, you need to create a button inside of it....

This would actually be something in the flash, so it belongs in the flash forum, but I'll tell you.

Draw something, select it and push F8 in Flash. Make it a button, and add the four frames, and then give it this code:

on(release){
geturl("link.htm", "_blank");
}

I think that's right, i havent done flash in a while.

it is geturl('url','_self') not geturl('url','_blank')

Please be patient in the Programming forum, it moves a lot slower than the other forums on NG. Have you fixed your problem? If not let me know and I'll help you out. If you're stuck on making buttons in Flash, try the Flash forum as it moves faster and thats where AS belongs.
