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.

instead of _blank, use _self
