I'm not sure it's possible in dreamweaver to be honest with you, however you could try this. Create a document in software such as Photoshop (not Paint or anything rubbish) the same size as your .swf file. Then make a new layer, and delete the background layer. Paint a tiny amount of colour on the new layer (which should be transparent) and then save the entire image as a PNG image, which preserves transparency. Then, on DW, create a new AP Div (absolute position) and place the transparent image in this div. Then place the div over the swf. Right, now create a hotspot over the entire image of the transparent png and link that hotspot to your page. I'm not sure it would work but I've seen it done before.
