I have tried to use the script from this thread but have been unable to get it to work.
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12677&highlight=change+html+color

I placed this between the <head> tags


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeColor(color){
document.bgColor = color;
}
-->
</SCRIPT>


I placed this on a buttton

on (release){
getURL("about :changeColor('#E6E6E6')");
}



when I click on the button it changes pages; the address it shows is......

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\about :changeColor('#E6E6E6')


It must be something simple that I dont know about, could someone please tell me what I may have done wrong ?

have you tried it online? maybe changing the



on (release){
getURL("about :changeColor('#E6E6E6')");
}to a absolute address


on (release){
getURL("http://www.yourwebsite/about.html :changeColor('#E6E6E6')");
}


hope that helps.

there is no www in the address...

the page I am refering to is testing.html

I thought that "about" may have been special feature refering to the page the flash movie was in.....
