Fudging a flash hyperlink

[sarahk]

I've got a site I help maintain which has an adserver written in Perl (which I don't know).

A customer wants to put up a flash file which I've got working with
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="760" height="120" id="movie" align="">
<param name="movie" value="http://adserver.mysite.com/ads/crosses_760x120_2.swf">
<embed src="http://adserver.mysite.com/ads/crosses_760x120_2.swf" quality="high" width="760" height="120" name="movie" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" plug inspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
<param name="play" value="true">
</object>

which plays the file beautifully. The guys who wrote the flash files didn't embed the hyperlink within it, so I need to bodge it for them.

Any ideas on how?

I meant to reply to this one a little back SK so sorry I forgot.

I thought thru your options and came out with a flat zero to start so - I went and got my reference books out and came out with another flat zero - the problem being in one sense that you are trying to link a "space" rather than an "object".

However I don't know if you know of this group - the perl m[ou]ngers - they may be able to help:

So I am sorry that I could not help and it seems that nobody else could either but I just wanted you to know that I had tried and I hope the London Perl M[ou]ngers can. :)

I've had no luck putting a link on a flash movie. But you may wanna look into some javascript stuff. See if that helps.
