I'm trying to do something that seems ever so simple, yet I'm not having any
success. I created a flash object and inserted it into my web page. I want to
be able to click on it to link elsewhere, but it doesn't work. I did so by
wrapping the object in <a href> tags like I would for anything else. Is this
not permissable? If so, how can I make the object link?

It's just a small animation that in previous years I would have accomplished
as an animated .gif file.

The page I'm referring to is http://www.pbu.edu. There's an image in the
middle of the page about an "application special" and I want it to link to the
correct page.

Any tips?

Thanks much!

Blair

you cant add a <a href> tag to a flash movie in html - go back to flash source
and add a button
there - if you want entire movie clickable simply make an invisible button
(button symbol with shape
in HIT state only) the width and height of stage - place on a new layer above
all other layers and
add getURL action to its instance.

hope this helps.
