How do I link the whole flash?

How do I make a link on the html-page to a flash-object?

I made some flash banners but I don't get it how to link them to some URLs. I
mean a banner with no "links inside" that would be linked from the html-page.

I used this and it worked once... For some reason it won't work anymore :-(


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="demo.swf?clicktag=http://www.thesite.com" width="468" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="demo.swf?clicktag=http://www.thesite.com" />
<param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="scale" value="exactfit" />
</object>


All ideas and hints are very welcome! Thanks in advance!

if i get you rigth

you can make a button with just the frame hit active

this button make it 468x60 px and center it in the flash banner this will make
your movie looks blue but this is just when you are editing, and put it in the
top layer

and put this antion in the button

on(release){
getURL("www.domain.com","_self");
}

hope this help

Thanks, that did help.

Is this the normal way to link a banner? To make the link "inside" the flash?
Is there a proper way to link the html-page where the flash banner is?

Another thing, I didn't manage to write the action in the button. I get the
action-window but I can only pick actions from a ready list. How should I punch
in this action script and where?

Thanks for the help.
