    Hi.

    Please put this code in a frame of the timeline where your button is located.

    JavaScript code:

    function openWebPage()
    {
         window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");
    }
    this.linkButton.addEventListener("click", openWebPage);

    FLA download:

    animate_cc_html5_open_webpage.zip - Google Drive​

    Don't forget to have a look at the Snippets panel for common interactivities.

    Regards,

    JC

      João César, I see that both your answer and the Animate Wizard give me options for opening the link in a new browser window. 

      Is there JavaScript code to follow the link in the current browser window?

      Thank you for your help in advance.
