hi.
How can i make it so that the entire .swf movie becomes a hyperlink. Ive tried surrounding the <object> and <embed> tags supplied by Flash with a hyperlink tag, but it does not seem to affect the movie itself, only the text arround it

you could possibley place it between a set of <span> tags and have an onlcick event for the span tags and a little javascript to redirect.
sound any good?

Couldn't an link (<a>) tag placed outside the embed tags work?
But I am pretty certain that scroots method will work.

i did already say that i had tried surrounding the generated code with < a > tags and that it didnt work.
and scroots, your code doesnt seem to work either, unless ive got it wrong.
<span onClick="window.open('http://www.gillard.plus.com')">
<embed src="resources/images/mcg.swf" width="128" height="50"></embed>
</span>

hi again
i have tried all of your suggestions, and included an onClick event in the object tag as well. None of them work.
Surely there must be a way to make flash files link - isnt flash supposed to be used for making banner ads among other things?
