Well, I thought I knew what you were asking until that last line.

Are you trying to link to other frames within the flash movie or another flash file?

Linking to another flash file is kind of a complicated process for a beginner. Here is a good video tutorial on it, but it might be a little bit past your skills if you're just starting out.

Linking WITHIN the same flash movie to another "page" or frame is quite simpler, you would use the following two actions:

gotoAndStop(32);  and gotoAndPlay(12);

gotoAndStop goes to the frame number inside the parenthesis and stops, gotoAndPlay plays from that point forward.

This is the very first tutorial I ever did when I began Flash. It helped me grasp the basics, maybe it will help you too.

Good luck & Happy Flashing
