Hyper Links and Flash Movies

    This question is either for this thread or the HTML coding thread. I have a flash movie that is advertising a product line for a website and I want to have the entire thing in a link to the page that has that product line. Anyone know a good way to do this?

    Do you have the *.fla file for the flash movie, or just the *.swf file?

    Just the .swf file as it was actually created with live motion.

    Well, you can import the movie into a new flash file and make entire canvas a button and add the URL action. I'm not sure if there's a way to do it with HTML, I tried just using A HREF and that didn't work.

    Anyone else?

    If you want something in a Flash movie to be a link, you have to add it inside Flash, there's no way around that. I've never used Livemotion, I can only assume there's got to be some way to add links with it.
