[SWFObject] Making the whole Flash file a link

[Aran Rhee]

Drew.

I think you might need a transparent GIF on top (or another flash file etc)
to place the link on to. I could be wrong, but I don't think you can't make
a <DIV> or <td> etc a link.

You can do this though :)

<div onclick="javascript:location='http://some.com'" id="linkdiv">
... stuff goes here ...
</div>

Only problem is you don't get a link cursor....


Duncan - I don't think Drew has access to the original flash file, but as
you suggested, you could have a flash movie with just the button in it and
pass the URL param to the button movie on top.
