[SWFObject] Making the whole Flash file a link

[Duncan Reid]

Hi Drew,

You could also create that button in the flash file as Aran suggested and
pass the url in via flashVars:

myFlashObject.addVariable("url", "http://yourlink.com");

then have your button do a getURL on the url var passed in.

just a thought...
