Pointing A Button to a "Web Page"

Now right-click on your first button--for me it's the "Home" button--and select Actions. When the Actions panel for that button appears, drill down through Actions->Movie Control, and then double-click on goto to add the command to the button.

By default it will insert a gotoAndPlay command inside an on(release) command; in Normal Mode, click on the radio button to change this to gotoAndStop, because we want our users to be able to stay on the current page to view the content.

You can leave the scene on current scene unless you plan to use several scenes to make a multi-tiered web page; we should otherwise be staying inside a single scene. Your type should stay as Frame Number, and because the "Home" button goes back to the main page that loads on start in the first frame, the frame number should stay as one.
