# Here you go
put this in the first frame of your movie and it'll do the job nicely.

Don't forget to change the graphics though!

To make buttons do stuff:

Create a button,
put it on your stage (the bit where you make the movie in your main timeline)
select the button
in the actionscript menu ( press f9 to bring it up) in one of the top folders is a thing called 'getURL'
double click that then type the address you want to get into the obvious boxes.

# No problem
I was actually just telling someone else about the very same thing who'd emailed me from my site so I already had the link to hand.

It's got some instructions with it, but basically you open the file, copy the one movieclip from the first frame and put it in the first frame of your own movie. If you then click into it and cut out the Newgrounds pic you've got a handy little movie clip that you can reuse with no coding needed whenever you make something in Flash.
