[thelist] Flash question

[Matt]

are you just selecting the image and trying to fill the "URL" field?
Because that wont work. You need to convert the image to a MovieClip and
then create anClick event that contains the getUrl, or else create a
button, place it over the image, and put the getUrl in the mouseEvent.
