Hello.. I would like to make my FLASH .swf file into a link. Basically it is a small thumbnail-sized .swf and I want to open a video when the .swf is clicked. How can I do this? I've tried putting a clear active layer over the top of the FLASH file in DREAMWEAVER but it doens't seem to work havng anything over the top of the FLASH movie.

PLease assist a complete novice...

Cheers...

You would basically create an invisible button (a button with the shape of your whole movie area only on the Hit state - other states remain clear...), and add a script, using a getURL to call up your link.
