Flash MX Menu links help needed

Newbie from the UK here. I have designed a menu and all i want to do is each button to link to another page. Easy you may think. But nope. I place the code:

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {getURL('http://www.whatever_url.com); }

on 1 rollover button, then the same code with different url on another rollover button, but they both only link to the first url?? and so do the other 3 buttons when i put different urls in?

Any idea, i can email over the fla file if anyone can help.

Cheers

Do you know that many search engine cant/dont follow Flash links, so your content wont appear in search engines?

I only ask because I tried Flash stuff when I first started, but soon came round to keeping things simple so it can be understood by most search engines and users. It is best to use simple HTML links.

If you want to attach a getURL action to a MovieClip, one way of setting that up is to add the action to a Frame, example...

Code:

---

// targets a movieclip with the Instance name of someMC1

someMC1.onRelease = function() {
        getURL("http://www.whatever_url1.com");
};
someMC2.onRelease = function() {
        getURL("http://www.whatever_url2.com");
};

---

or if your using Buttons just attached the following Actionscript directly to the button...

Code:

---

on (release) {
    getURL("http://www.whatever_url.com");
}

// or to open the URL in a new window
on (release) {
    getURL("http://www.whatever_url2.com", "_blank");
}

r2d2's right about the Search engines not being able to follow your URL's if their within a Flash (SWF) file. All except for Google that is.
