Hi, I'm trying to make an embed movie into something that you can click on. I did it by putting the href statement in it, but it doesn't change the cursor,which is a problem when someone doesn't know you can click on it. There also isn't a title tag for me to stick a "click me!" text in.

Anyone know how I can do it?

Sincerely,
Kerry
 
AFAIK, there is no way to do this. Embed replaces the html element with an external control, which means that the space embed used will be filled with an external application on the actual page and whatever mouse controls there are, they will be controlled by that application. You would need to define the cursor style and events on click in that application then.
 
hmm ok, then I'm going to look for another player. I was thinking of getting a flash player, but unsure if I should go to the Flash forum (as that deals more with making flash movies than the player), or if you had any suggest?
