Unless there was a change from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0 for that, I am 99% sure you can put a URL in an XML file and import it into flash as a variable and use it to create a link.

You can use <![CDATA[ link ]]>

movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMovieClipClick);

function onMovieClipClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); // second argument is target
} catch (e:Error) {
trace("Error occurred!");
}
}


Assuming you want the person to click on the movie clip to be taken to the link
