Flash linking help.

[Super-Supra]

I have a .swf loaded and I'm trying to link it to another page.

I'm using Dreamweaver MX, incase your wondering.

I have absolutely no clue how I can hotlink a .swf file.

Thanks, in advance.

Just select it in DW, go to the Properties inspector, and type in the url.

Explain.

Do you have a link in your Flash movie that you want the users to click?

I want my whole flash image to be a link to another page.

So you have an image in your Flash movie that you wish the users to click on, which will refer them to another page?

Correct.

Basically, I want my flash movie to be clickable. Once clicked it opens a new page in that window.

That's easy with a few lines of actionscript. Right click on your image and press F8 and convert it to a Movie Clip. Now right click on it again and select Actions.

In the right pane, copy and paste the following:

on (release) {
    getURL("[color=red]www.inserturlhere.com[/color]", "[color=red]_self[/color]");
}

Substitute www.inserturlhere.com with the address of the webpage you wish to display. _self tells the browser to load the webpage in the same browser window. If you want it to load in a new window, substitute _self with _blank.
