[SWFObject] Flash object as hyperlink

Wed Sep 20 06:17:20 PDT 2006

I think what he means is (Aran, pls correct me when I'm wrong) that you
first have to write out the div containing the flash object and than
append the onclick event by DOM manipulation.

For non-IE browsers you can do this with:

Document.getElementById("adiv").setAtribute("onclick",
"javascript:location='http://some.com'")

But that won't work in IE for some weird reason.

Use this instead (=cross-browser):

Document.getElementById("adiv").onclick = function(){
window.location='http://some.com'; }

Ps. This stuff is not really SWFobject related.

I tried Aran's solution but with the same effect that I got when I 
simply surrounded the <div> with anchor tags. The cursor changed to a 
link pointer and the link worked but only on the blank space in the 
<div> not over the flash banner.

I don't know what it means to

make sure the flash has been written before
applying the link to your <div>
.
