URL on Movie Clip with AS3

Hi all,

Quick question. How the ^&*# do I put a link in a movie clip in AS3? (I just have a logo in a movie clip that I want to link to the homepage). In AS2 you could just put a transparent box on top of your movie and put the URL there, but it doesn't seem to work anymore? Do I have to do it in a keyframe instead? And does anyone happen to know the AS3 code for this?

Thanks!

Think could be to do with layers

Change the transparent box to a movieclip, like you woudl a graphic or symbol and put this action script on that clip

onClipEvent (load) {this.swapDepths(500)
}

This may or may not work.

Thanks for your help Charles, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work that way.

I got it working somehow by using the below code, putting it in the frame and referring to the movieclip instead.

Code:
[FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]var [/SIZE][/FONT][URL="url:String"][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff]url:String[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/URL][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] = "[/SIZE][/FONT][URL="http://www.blahblah.com/"][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.blahblah.com[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/URL][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]"[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url)[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]navigateToURL (req)[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
 
Can you not just use a behaviour? Like onMouseOut or similar?
Do behavious even work in AS3?

I havent played around with Flash for a long time.
