Simple Question (Probably) About Buttons

You cannot add such things to Flash objects. That functionality would have
to be implemented in the object's Actionscript.

Thanks. I don't know why I never thought of functions. I was trying to attach several lines of code to the onClick event and it wasn't working. But...

If I create a function called test, what is the correct syntax to call it? Here's what I have. Is this correct???

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" name="btnAddToCart" width="105" height="33" id="btnAddToCart" onclick="Test()">

put the code in the button html tag:

<input type="button" name="clickme" value="Click me"
onclick="alert('Thank you')" />

if the code is more complex you better define a function and call it in
the onclick handler
