Hi All,

I know this may be a dumb question, but I am a Flash beginner. Is there a way to embed a link into the exported SWF file so that the file, which is a banner, links to a webpage?

Please, if anyone can help me, I need to sort this urgently. I know you can just embed the file in html and link it that way, but can I embed the link in the actual movie?

Thanks in advance...

just put a big square on top of it and make that square a movie clip. Change the alpha to 0. Go inside that movieclip add a new frame and put the following code on that new frame.

this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("myWebpage.html", "_blank");
}

Obviously swap out the mywebpage with whatever url you need to load, and _blank is whatever target you want the page to load in. Not 100% sure if it needs the " " around _blank, but I think it does.

Good luck
