Hi Everybody–

My name is Larry and I’m new here… just registered, but have been checking the site for a while.

Can anyone tell me the best way to make a Flash Movie “Banner Ad” hyperlinked to open a URL.

I use Flash and Dreamweaver… I need for people to click anywhere on the “Banner Ad” and then have a separate window open up to another website.

Thanks.

Larry

Easiest way:

On the bottom layer create a big rectangle. Convert this rectangle into a button symbol.

On your button symbol add the code to go to the URL.

[AS]on (release){  
getURL(“yourSiteURL”, “\_blank”);  
}[/AS]

You can’t use HTML to turn a .swf file into a link.
