    I am having some trouble integrating a flash banner to one of our sites. We are wanting to link it to another website, is it 100% necessary for us to have the FLV files edited to link it elsewhere or is there a way of doing it with only the SWF file?

    Thanks!

    Please move this as I wasnt sure where to post it.

    Are you sure you didn't make the flash movie the link? According to the source

    Code:
    <td bgcolor="#4d338d"><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="620" HEIGHT="216" id="logo" ALIGN=""><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/logo.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#4D338D> <EMBED src="/logo.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#4D338D WIDTH="620" HEIGHT="216" NAME="logo" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT></td>
    
    There really isn't anything that says it should link back to the homepage.


    The only other way I know of doing this would be to create an empty div and use some javascript to make it a link. (Flash won't play without javascript any way, so you don't have to worry about usability issues)

    Making DIV a Link - Javascript Vs CSS probably one of the best explanations of it.
