I'm publishing to HTML5 and I have a button on a graphic that causes a popup menu to appear. I want each menuitem to launch a webpage. I have a hotspot over the menu graphic and am trying to put a web link to it, but not getting the actionscript right. i tried adding it within the menuitem symbol using:

this.updates_june.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7() {

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

}

and also on the main level using:

this.menu_june.updates_june.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7() {

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

}

neither seems to work. The popup menu appears fine when I mouseover the graphic.

I think i figured it out. the symbol with the menu was a layer below the hotspot for the button that triggered it. Once I moved it above it began to work. Thanks for your help!

the code snippet should be on the same timeline as the one that contains updates_june and the second should be on the timeline that contains menu_june.

I tried it each way separately but neither way worked.

I have a link working on the main timeline, but when I put one within a symbol it doesn't work.
