How to make entire flash movie a clickable link? Flash CS3, AS 3.0

How do I make the whole movie a clickable link?

I'm pretty sure I put a layer beneath all other layers, put a rectangle on that layer, turn that rectangle into a button, and then put an action on that button, right?

But how? I'm a Flash n00b.

I already have a layer called "actions." It has a key frame in the last frame with a stop(); action.

Hi all
I know a little about Flash CS3, but how to make a movie clickable evades me; I followed the above, altering to myneeds:.

import flash.net.navigateToURL;
var link1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.mpphotographic.co.uk/index.html");
modeling_sectionInstanceName.buttonMode = true;
modeling_sectionInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoLink);
function gotoLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(www.mpphotographic.co.uk/index.html, "_blank");
//trace("I'm going to: "+link1.url);
}

Doesn't work, the movie plays, but no hyperlink. Have I copied literally and forgotten something simple?
"modeling_section" is the name of my movie.
Many thanks for any help!

Hi CyanBlue, I *think* so, thanks, no-one responded in the time I was hoping (no big problem), but managed to find a way to do it, although trials haven't taken place on my website just yet. If I get problems, I'll come back here...
