I am having some trouble integrating a flash banner to one of our sites. We are wanting to link it to another website, is it 100% necessary for us to have the FLV files edited to link it elsewhere or is there a way of doing it with only the SWF file? Thanks! Please move this as I wasnt sure where to post it.
The header on Psychic readings in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Twin Cities Area, Minnesota is flash, and I was able to link it to the homepage with the embed code. The problem is that I need to find a way to get back into the site as I've somehow been locked out. I'll try to get back in tonite...
Are you sure you didn't make the flash movie the link? According to the source Code: <td bgcolor="#4d338d"><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="620" HEIGHT="216" id="logo" ALIGN=""><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/logo.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#4D338D> <EMBED src="/logo.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#4D338D WIDTH="620" HEIGHT="216" NAME="logo" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT></td> There really isn't anything that says it should link back to the homepage. The only other way I know of doing this would be to create an empty div and use some javascript to make it a link. (Flash won't play without javascript any way, so you don't have to worry about usability issues) Making DIV a Link - Javascript Vs CSS probably one of the best explanations of it.
I have gotten it now after a long time lol the persons flash banner needed him to edit the url before encoding and he has done that now so everything is good
