Swf and links in dreamweaver

Question

Can anyone help me figure out how to make my swf files (animated buttons created in flash cs4 / as3 ) work in my dreamweaver site (cs4) as links to go from one html page to another ?
Thanks in advance for anyones help,

I cannot open CS4 files, but in any case, you made things easier for me to go thru by actually creating buttons. Select the button and give it an instance name in the Properties panel, let's say you name it "btn"
In the actions layer, insert the following code...
// this is an event handler function for the event listener
function gotoPage(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var url:String = "http://www.url.com/webpage.html";
     var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
     navigateToURL(req);
// this is an event listener assignment for the button
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPage);
I showed the above function coded as I did so that you can see the individual pieces that make it up.  Those pieces could be combined into one line...
function gotoPage(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     navigateToURL(new URLRequest( "http://www.url.com/webpage.html"));
And if the html pages are in the same domain, you should be able to use relative references for them rather than absolute.
