Flash <a href> Link

[robindean]

I'm using stickam (stickam.com) on my site and have set it's embedded flash values to "scriptaccess=never".

Normally, when someone clicks on the embedded Stickam, it does a bunch of stuff. I don't want it to do anything, so I've disabled such options.

The problem is, now when someone clicks on the flash doc, my live video stream gets turned off.

What I want to do is wrap the flash document in a link that simply directs to the very same page it's embedded on. That way, the page simply starts playing my stickam webcast stream again if somebody clicks on the player.

I've tried <a href="page.html"><object ....></a> but with no luck.

Anybody have a solution? How can I wrap my flash document in a link?

If you have your Flash Player embedded on another HTML page, just use the path to it as the link:

<a href="flashplayer.html" title="Video Name Here">Flash Player (or whatever)</a>

It may not be as simple as this for your page. :p

Wow ... I appreciate the effort but I have no idea how or why that would work.

I just want to reload the current page if someone clicks on it.

What does your code do?

That would send the viewer to the page where your video is embedded. If you just want to refresh the page, just add the href="filename.html" to the same page you're viewing. Or try to use this:

<a href="javascript:history.go(0)">Click to refresh the page</a>

Maybe I'm not describing this well enough.

I don't want anyone to see any link text. I want a magic javascript or <div> potion whcih produces the following concept in one form or another ...

<a href="samepage.html"><object flash item></object></a>

I've known for quite some time that this base-level html style example won't work. The question is, will ANYTHING do this?
