why link the swf in html? (don’t think it’s possible)  
just create a rectangle with width&height as you movie. then create a button of it and add this to your button:  
[AS]  
on (load) {  
this.\_alpha = 0;  
}

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.site.com/](http://www.site.com/)”);  
}  
[/AS]

that way the whole swf will be a link.
