converting from AS 2.0 to 3.0 need help

Question

I have been using Flash Professional with AS 2.0 to create flash banners using .flv video, the banners have a button layer to click through to a url. That's all I use Flash Professional for, so I know nothing of Actionscript.

Now working with Flash Professional CC which is no longer supporting AS 2.0.

On the Actions line at frame one I have defined Action 1 in AS 2.0 as follows:

button_99.onRelease = function() {

getURL("http://www.vrcworld.com/common/redirc.ashx?0,0,1226", "_blank");

};

I am getting the following errors when compiling the project:

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 1, Column 11

1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 2, Column 2

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.

Can someone help me to get this fixed for AS 3.0?

Thanks a lot,

Pieter

put this on the first frame of you fla-file, where your button actually is on stage:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.net.navigateToURL;

button_99.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _getURL);

function _getURL(e:MouseEvent):void{

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.vrcworld.com/common/redirc.ashx?0,0,1226", "_blank"));

}
