How to link to webpage from button click?

[sherryl77877703]

I keep getting syntax errors using the snippet code and I'm following the directions... Just want the button to link to an outside webpage - very new to Animate - and frustrated. Any suggestions much appreciated.

what code you using that's triggering an error and what's the error?

Thanks for looking ...

I'm using this:

* Click to Go to Web Page

Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.

Instructions:

1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.

   Keep the quotation marks ("").

*/

this.button_1.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2() {window.open("http://www.adobe.com","_blank")}

and error is

1120 Access of undefined property window

I replaced in my version the domain with the appropriate one - as instructions indicate to do

that's html5 code.  if you're publishing for as3, using as3 code:

button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f1);

function f1(e:MouseEvent):void{

navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com'),'_blank');

}
