movie. You can control the

GET URL
This is where you can tell a button or frame to fetch a URL and and the
target to load it at. For
assured results use the full URL path.
And for email just use the regular -- mailto:abc@xyz.com --
address.
FS
(FUTURESPLASH) COMMAND
To use FS Commands
you need to be familiar with Javascript.
It uses Javascript
to send commands to the browser. Many don't have the need to use this
feature anymore due to the greater scripting capabilities available in
Flash 4.
LOAD MOVIE - UNLOAD MOVIE
This command allows you to load .swf movies into seperate 'layers'
called "LEVELS". Movies that are loaded into different levels
should be the same dimension. Your
base movie is considered Level 0. All
the other movies that you choose to load you can place in a level of
your choice ranging from 0-16000. If
you load another movie into Level 0 though, you will have to reload your
main movie again if you need it back.
TELL TARGET
Allows you to
have great control over Movie Clips.
Only movie clips with Instance Names can be controlled with Tell
Target Commands. Give a
Movie Clip a name by double clicking it, and under the Definition tab
adding a name under Instance Options. When you go to add a Tell Target
action it will give you a list of all the Movie Clips Instances to
choose from. Then from
there you can add GoTo actions, Play, Stop, or whatever.
IF FRAME IS LOADED
This is used for PreLoader movies.
It checks to see if a certain frames has been loaded, if so then
movie starts -- if not, then loading
sequence repeats itself.

Now this is
for buttons only. You have
the ability to have these kind of events for the button:
