Writing for New Media

As I went over in class last time, to make a button cause a Web page to be opened in a browser window, you just need to follow these steps:

1) Create a button and save it to the library.

2) Create a new layer and drag the button to it.

3) Select the button.

4) Open the Actions panel and do these steps in the Actions panel:

Global Functions>Movie Clip Control>On>Release
Global Functions>Browser Network>Get URL

Then add the URL, in quotes. The resulting script should look just like this:

On (release) {
get URL ("http://www.towson.edu");
}
