    link to website

      I've downloaded the trial for Flash CS4. I just have scrolling text which I need to link to a url. Used to be I could hold down command and click on my button symbol and the actions palette would bring up object actions. Now the actions palette is a complete mystery to me and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my scrolling text to be a link. Do I still make it a button symbol? and then what to do? Thanks for any help.

          I guess your text is in a textfield or movieClip?  You could always make a button that incorporates the text.  You could also overlay the text with a Button, Sprite, or MovieClip with alpha set very low.  If you use a symbol object other than Button make sure to set buttonMode to true so the hand icon appears when you hover over it.  As far as the actions palette goes mine doesn't work either on my CS3 version I found I don't really need it.
