It's better if you use the code in the AS file.
Anyway, you can also put it into timeline.

Why, is it better to use the AS file than in the Fla (swf)?

there are many why... the most popular:
- you have all under control, if something does not run properly you know exactly which class (.as file) has the problem.
- you get more performance
- it's more professional and if you share your code with another developer he can ' translate ' your code easier way.

Anyway, if you feel confortable to write in timeline, you can do it, nothing wrong with it

hi!

I love the code you have shown us for opening a URL from a button.
What a pain it is to just use a button in CS3 actionscript 3!

oh well.. I tried downloading your zip that explains how to navigate within
a flash file. And it doesn't open properly.

thanks for any help you can give us.

Thats the code i use to navigate around the timeline seems to work pretty well

stop();
BUTTONINSTANCE.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler999);
function mouseDownHandler999(event:MouseEvent):void {
  
gotoAndStop(3);
}
