How do I change "link =" code to "href=" on my flash navigation?

Question

I was given the following recommendation for my website:
Your flash menu links to home.html.  However, since home.html is the default document, you're encouraging people to link to http://www.victorylcms.org/home.html or bookmark it.  If you ever change the name of the default document  (home page), those links will break. I  would change the link to be <a href="/">home</a> so it  loads whatever default page you are currently using.
I looked at my code and it says this:
onClipEvent (load) {
    num = 1;
    this.hitArea = this.area;
    link = "home.html";
on (rollOver) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        _root.icon1.gotoAndPlay("s1");
        _root.item1.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        _root.icon1.gotoAndPlay("s2");
        _root.item1.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        _parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
        _root.link = num;
        getURL(link);
When I changed the first section to this, I got an error and the home button kept rotating. Any ideas on how to make this recommendation? Thanks!
onClipEvent (load) {
     num = 1;
     this.hitArea = this.area;
     link = <a href="/">home</a>;

You're still trying to use an html tag for a link and I just said that will fail...  Use:
onClipEvent (load) {
    num = 1;
    this.hitArea = this.area;
    link = "http://www.victorylcms.org";
The error with the code you tried, aside from just being wrong programmatically, is that you had two = signs in that line and not enough quotes to make the second one part of a string.  The correct way to have written that line would have been
  link = "<a href=\"http://www.victorylcms.org\">Home</a>"; 
But do not use that, it is wrong to use it.
