How to make a link in Flash ActionScript 2.0

[BHuffman80]

Trying to figure out how to add a link that will open up in a new window using Action Script for something at work.  Have barely used Flash so I am totally lost.  People at work gave me a file with a blue box that is in its own layer, but I don't understand where to put the link at.  I know I have to use Action Script 2.0 and go to the Actions palette.  After that I am lost! HELP!

if clicking the blue box is supposed to open that link, right click the blue box, click convert to symbol, tick movieclip and click ok.  in the properties panel assign an instance name (say blueboxMC).  click on an empty part of the stage and in the actions panel paste:

blueboxMC.onRelease=function(){

getURL("http://www.adobe.com","_blank");

}

// upload your published swf, html and ac_fl_runcontent.js files to your server and test.
