We are reworking our company website. On one page we currently have a flash movie that the visitor can choose to play. The movie ends with a static page with buttons that animate when you roll over them.

My question is this: The buttons are pretty nice looking, and the art director wants to replace the standard rollover buttons on our whole website with these flash ones. I know I can replace the 2nd image in the rollover with an animated .gif, can I do the same with a flash file, and still have it be a link? If so, can someone point me to where I can view some code for this?

I will need to have the person who originally created the flash for us do some editing on it. I'm assuming I need to ask him to make each button a seperate file so I can do the rollovers, rather than lump them together into a whole strip as they are now?

Any advice welcomed!

Plus I just had another thought: If someone was viewing the site and didn't have a flash viewer, what would they see? Would they see the page, but get nothing when they rolled over the button, or would they not even be able to see the page???

If the user doesn't have Flash they see nothing where the Flash files should go - much like with broken image links - it is a web accessibility issue.
