How to link a embed flash?

[MontyV]

Hi I have a flash banner that I want to be able to link when clicked on. I am not familiar with flash so changing anything in the flash itself to create the onclick action will not be possible. I was trying to simply surround the embed with <a href></a> but it is not working. Should this be done a different way?

you should have really linked the banner when you created the banner using flash or swish. (always best )

this code should work anyways:

<a href="htt://www.yoursite.com"><img src="http://ww.yourimage.swf" border="0" width="184" alt="This is copyright of my site" /></a>


why not load your swf file and link it using flash, if you created it you can load it back up and link or swish may link it also.

I didn't create the flash file it was given to me as a .swf file. He's out of town now until next week until I am able to have him work on it again. As my mentioned I have no experience using flash either so doing it myself will be kind of difficult. I've tried the above mentioned surrounding the embed but it is not working. Below is my flash embed i have.


<div id="headerimg">
<object width="820px" height="177px">
<param name="movie" value="http://rezzlineblog.com/blog1.swf"></param>
<embed src="http://rezzlineblog.com/blog1.swf" width="820px" height="177px">
</embed>
</object>
</div>

As far as I know you have got to do it in Flash there is no way around it.

If you have Flash it is very easy to do.

What version of Flash was it made with?

I only got MX see, cos I would soon put the link in for you, but I will not be able to open it if it was made in a newer version.

Also you will need the fla .file not the .swf file for me to be able to do it.

That is the thing, I only have the .swf file. Are there instructions on how to do this in flash or will it be difficult?

As far as I know you carnt do it with just the .swf file.

Saying that I have seen a program somewere that is supposed to change it back to an editable file though I dont no if it can be done.
