Linking from SWF files to web pages

Linking from SWF files to web pages
Thu, 3 Apr 2008 21:04:53 +0000
Hi

 I'm using the latest Flash CS3.

 Basically, I want to link from the SWF file to a webpage.

 Here's what I've done so far.

 Created the FLA file, imported the quicktime movie into it etc etc.

 I've then added a behaviour by clicking on the inserted movie, then BEHAVIORS 
>WEB> GO TO WEB PAGE> and filled in all the relevant text for the
link.

 Then I have saved the file. Then I have published then OK.

 I have embeded the SWF file in a web page, but when I click on the movie, it 
shows there's a link, but it won't link to the webpage.

 What am I doing wrong? I dont understand.

 Can't get my head around this!

 When I go to the FLA file, then publish preview > flash, and the movie
appears 
on its own, the link works... but the SWF file doesn't.

 Basically what do I need to do to make it work.

 The coding I am using in my web-page is:

 <p align="center"><center>

 <object width="165" height="100">

             <param name="movie" 
value="http://homovision.media7london.com/wordpress/Newcontribute.swf"
/>
             <embed 
src="http://homovision.media7london.com/wordpress/Newcontribute.swf" 
width="165" height="100" />


         </object>

 </p></center>

 The movie plays, the "link hand" appears above it, but when it is
clicked 
nothign happens.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Simon
