Having trouble creating clickable banner ad/header

Question

I have gone the route already of creating an invisible button for my header. All I would like to do is be able to click it and it will return the user back to the main index file without opening a new window. When I click on the swf file there is a pointer but nothing happens. Clicking does not oppen a window, or redirect anywhere. I have the following in my actions file in the layer I created.
clickTAG.onRelease = function(){
getURL(" http://www.domain.com", "_self");
I have also tried the following as well:
on(release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,4) == 'http') {
getURL(clickTAG, "http://www.domain.com", "_self");
I have researched and tried changing to several others but have not had any success. I am sure I am missing something simple here but can not figure it out.

I can imagine they were not used together, but I cannot imagine beyond what I already explained in my last response the differences in what you did... in the first code you use it as if it is a button's instance name.  In the second you use it as if it is a string... two entirely different animals.
Normally a "clickTAG" represents data that is read in from a parameter in the html embedding code.  Your actionscript extracts that string of data and processes it.  So your second approach appears to be closer to what you need, though it should be directing the getURL to use the clickTag value as the url, not some fixed url string.
Your best bet to get something working is to find a clickTAG tutorial and follow it thru.  Your best bet for finding one is to use Google and search terms like "AS2 clickTAG tutorial"
