Adding button

Thanks for the help

fairly simple:
let's say your button A has an instance name of 'a_btn' (and its placed in
level0), and in your library you have a MC from which you want to preapare
your new button, and it has a linkage ID of 'newButton' (and the 'download
doc for example' all over it...).
In that case put on a frame in level 0 the following code:
a_btn.onRealse = function() {
// this line creates a new movieclip on the stage out of the MC in the
libarary,
// names it 'b_btn' and places it in the next available depth in your
movie's root
_root.attachMovie("newButton", "b_btn", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
// placing the button at the required cordinations
b_btn._x = 100;
b_btn._y = 200;
// adding functionality to the button
b_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("../lesson2")
}
}

ta-da...

you might as well create your new button's graphic also by code, but that's
the subject of another lesson.

ps - pay attentin, that the URL u're using has no extentin (html, swf,
jpg...)
