Setting the URL for a button symbol or instance

A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is a link to another web page, website, or anchor on
the same web page. The URL can be a symbol- or instance-level button property. You can
attach a URL to a selected button instance in the Property inspector or in the URL panel.
You can attach a URL to a symbol, so that the same URL appears in the Link text box in the
Property inspector for each instance. This is helpful when entering absolute URLs within a
site; you need only complete the last part of the URL in each instance's Link text box in the
Property inspector to link the button instances.
For information on absolute versus relative URLs, see
