Hi I made a nice animation in Flash mx and exported as GIF  
Because where I use it only take .gif, but I don’t know how to make it with my e-mail link you know when you move your mouse over the ‘hand’(pointer) show you there is a link.  
Please if you can help me with a sample html

If this is just a gif file, you can yous usual HTML anchor tag to make a link. Code looks like this.

\<a href=“[www.thisisalink.com](http://www.thisisalink.com)”\>\<img src=“image.gif”\>\</a\>

I guess you can use PHP form to create email interface. Otherwise html works fine to open viewers mail client.

Yes… As KazchiX said, you will have to open up a Flash movie on a new window or something when the GIF file is pressed… (I assume Flash movie because this is Flash forum… ;))  
On that Flash movie, you can have a form that your user can fill out and call the PHP script when submit button is pressed…

If you mean what I think you mean then shouldn’t it be;

```php
<a href="mailto:your@email.com"><img src="image.gif"></a>

```

I don’t really know html so i could be wrong:\

Just put the code in the HTML where your image goes in the HTML. The A HREF tag surrounds your image tag, that way it creates a link out of your image.
