Problem with buttons

[WEich1213]

I'm trying to add actionscript to a button that says:

on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://www.thefwa.com?","_blank");
//End Behavior

}

but when I click the button it won't let me write any actionscript, it says"current selection cannot have actions applied to it."
I've done this before with no problem I don't know why it won't let me do it with this button. Any suggestions? Thanks WEich1213

In AS3 you must place all of your code in the timeline. No code is allowed to place in the instances.
The correct code must be something like:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, theNavigationFunctionToRun);

function theNavigationFunctionToRun(e:MouseEvent):void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
navigateToURL(request);
}

Check some AS2 to AS3 tutorials so you can fill all the blanks.
Here´s a very good one

Good luck!
