Does anyone out there know if it is possible to have a link within an animation that transfers a viewer to a website? I have tried on several occasions to do this, but have as yet been unsuccessful.

    You can add an action to a button or a movieclip to go to a website by doing the following:

    1. Select the button or movieclip
    2. Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions or F9)
    3. In the Actions panel, click on the Code Snippets button (it looks like "< >")
    4. In the HTML5 Canvas folder (or ActionScript folder, if that's the type of file you're making), open the Actions folder
    5. Double-click the Click to Go to Web Page action to add it
    6. Set the URL and target in the function--target options are as follows:
      • "_blank" which opens in a new window or tab
      • "_self" which opens in the same frame that was clicked
      • "_parent" which opens in the parent frame
      • "_top" which opens in the full body of the window
