Hi,
I am having the same problem but noone here seems to actually advise how to DO it.
I found getURL but I want the URL to only load when the user clicks on the image.
Help please ...

Ask in the Flash forum.

1) create a button symbol in flash
2) drag an instance of it to the stage in its own layer that persists
through out whatever else is going on in the flash movie, and size it to
conver the entire stage or whatever part you need to have the
on(release) event
3) select the button on stage and apply the getURL behavior
4) select the button on stage and set an alpha 0% state
5) export your swf and html into the proper locations (set that up using
Export Settings)
6) publish
7) copy the <object> to </object> code in the html page you exported
into the page where you want the flash button (pages must be at same
directory level to maintain correct path to swf)

That should do it. but Murray is correct, flash is better answered at
the flash forum.
