I have Flash CS4 amnesia

AtomBomb

So I have a movie with 3 buttons in it that link to webpages. For some reason the 3rd one isn't working. I'm 99% it's something easy and stupid, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. If anyone has a minute, I've uploaded the fla to:

http://ymcatucson.org/Documents/november4.fla

I'd try to explain everything I did, but it seems easier just to put the file up. Thanks for any help

Save it out as a CS3 file and i can help you. I only have CS3.

It's probably a symbol naming issue.

I really should start saving everything as CS3 anyway. Here it is in that format:

The code is probably broken now, since CS4 can't use getURL. I don't think the issue is with the code though, I think it's the button. I don't get the clickable hand in the last part of the movie, like I do in the first 2 parts.

Thanks Jasconius.

"file not found"

Oops, I uploaded the SWF by accident. It should work now

Objects referenced in code must exist at Frame 1 of the timeline where the code is written.

Therefore, you are referencing btn3, for example, but btn3 is not on the timeline until late in the movie, so the reference is null.

The easy fix is to place all buttons on the timeline in seperate layers for all frames, and move them off stage until it's their turn to be clicked.

Thanks! I'll redo the file and try again.
