The OBJECT and EMBED tags don't offer an HREF for a link, so this can't be done directly, sorry. I know of a few other approaches to this goal, however: -- If you have the original Flash authoring file (.FLA) then you can add the link this way. -- If the SWF already has a "click anywhere" link in it, then Dreamweaver can be used to change the target of this link. -- If you know the playback browsers and if they all support the WMODE overlay ability, then you can add a link by a transparent DIV atop the plugin content. (Ken mentioned putting the SWF in a DIV and then assigning a link to the latter, but I'm not sure how the various browsers do in directing events in such a display... I'd expect such clicks to go to the SWF rather than the DIV, but would defer to testing in each of the various browser configurations popular among your audience.) Do any of the above bring you where you wish to go...? jd -- John Dowdell . Macromedia Developer Support .
