You need to set up the link in flash as the 'on click' comand.

as a side note.... and i see this happen on a LOT of Flash content..

you need to make the hit area of the button be more than just the actual letters themselves. when you create the button action, make a rectangular hit shape on the "hit" frame of the button clip, this way, any mouse over will use that entire area as a hit trigger, not just the acutal letter forms themselves.
