making an swf a link

[catalystunderx]

once I have embedded an swf into my asp page, how do I make the whole swf a link??

 

[DreXor]

never tried this but you could attempt to enclose the <embed> in an <a href>

I had a similar problem. Check out my page, there should be a link below. There's a pop-up window, view the code there mate.

sorry harlequin, cant find it, where exactly on the site is the code??

 

[DreXor]

honestly i dont see the code either, other than the hyperlink UNDER the swf...

though this did come to mind :

<embed onclick="window.open or window.location etc...

or

<script>
if(document.all)
{
document.onclick = window.location(blah);
}
</script>

If you open my webpage a popup window opens. Make the window active (select the titlebar) and press CTRL+N to open that window in a new window. Then select View | source.

The code is about half way down the page:

<EMBED SRC="images/flash/banner_05.swf" WIDTH="228" HEIGHT="208">

There ya go

Harlequin007, i dont think he's looking to embed it, i think he's already got that, he's attempting to make the embed a hyperlink.

catalystunderx, if you happen to have a flash editor, you could alter the flash file to be a link, and make the link an argument like

<embed src="myflash.swf?link=/homepage/">
