  if you would like to use the existing button and just dynamically link them to a site, you can do so by the following steps:
  1. Create an array containing the links and remember to arrange according to the button numbers. After the tipInfo array, add another array like:

     var linkstosomewhere:Array = ["http://www.google.com", "http://www.yahoo.com", "http://www.msn.com", "http://www.youtube.com", "http://www.flickr.com", "http://activeden.net"];
     

  2. Next in the for loop below it, add

     b.link = root.linkstosomewhere[i];
     b.onRelease = gotoSite;
     

     right after b.toolTipInfo = root.tipInfo[i];
  3. lastly, open up toolTipFunctions.as and create a function at the end of the file which will launch the link:

     gotoSite = function () {
         getURL(this.link, "_blank");
     }
     

• Bug fix. Tool tip appears off the pointer – 04 Jan 08
  open up toolTipFunctions.as and replace all “_root” with “root” ( press ctrl+f, find ‘_root.’ and replace with ‘root.’ ) so this will refer the path from where it was called..
