Hello all,

I have put a flash movie .swf into my html page and would like to make it a link to another page. Could anyone tell me how to do this?

Thank you
Steph
 
You do this from within Flash, as such the forum250 may be a better place to ask this:

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
Quick and dirty method but I use it all the time when I need a flash movie to go to only one address:
Create a new layer in flash. Make a keyframe at the beginning of the movie. Draw and empty box the same or slightly larger than the background and convert it to a symbol (button) add the following action to that button in the Actions window. Select the button on left and add:

on (release) {
getURL("
Then I put a keyframe at the end of the timeline of the animation for that action layer.

There is probably an easier way but hey, it works.
